The Details:
What is Orff Ensemble?
Orff Ensemble is named after Carl Orff, the composer and educator who introduced child-friendly xylophones, movement, and recorders into the elementary music classroom. Orff Ensemble is a place where 4th grade students will create original performances using movement, singing, xylophones, and drums.
When will Orff Ensemble meet?
3:15-4:30 on Thursdays after school
Where will they meet?
Students will walk to the music classroom after the bell rings on Thursdays
How does dismissal work?
Students that are walkers or bike riders will be dismissed from the exit closest to the music door that leads to the blacktop. Important: after the students leave the building, they are responsible for themselves. There won’t be crossing guards at that time.
Students that are car riders will be picked up at the front of the school
