K-3
Milne Grove Music Classes- General Information
ALL K-8 Music students (& parents) are asked to SAVE all
of the music worksheets and music until after 8th grade. We recommend that you
put them in the order given to the students in a 3-ring binder at home for
grades K-1.
Second & Third Grade are
to keep their music worksheets in a 3-ring binder with:
- their name on the outside FRONT COVER AND SIDE SPINE
- 5 tab dividers inside- labeled in this order :
(1-Notes; 2- Theory; 3- History; 4- Classical Is Cool; 5 -
Music)
- 10 sheets of notebook paper after Chapter 1 and 3
- 2 sharpened pencils with erasers in the folder (a pencil bag
with pencils and erasers would be a good thing to leave in the music folder)
2nd & 3rd Grade students will have a music worksheet to do as homework every week.
Many of the answer cues will be found on the worksheet or below on this web site
(scroll down to the section covering the information on the worksheet). All
worksheets will be due the next week during music.
If the child forgets or
doesn’t have the paper, they will not receive a sticker for the day and the
paper will have a 0 in the grade book. Music grades are S, S-, or N.
Please do not ask for replacements of lost papers. We are trying to teach
the students to be responsible in doing their work and turning it in on time.
Completed worksheets will be graded and returned to put in their music
folder in the music classroom.
At the end of the year, the music folders will go
home and are to be SAVED until 8th grade. Students may take their
music folders home any time, but are responsible for returning them to school by
the next music class time. Students in 2nd & 3rd Grade may leave the binder
in the music room at school or take the binder home as long as they bring it
back for each music class. They are building a
music book/portfolio. They will be able to play the music selections each year.
All Grades 2-5 students may earn music stickers for their sticker sheet
for completed music assignments. Students in Grades 2- 5 with the most stickers by the end
of March will receive a coupon. 6-8
students completing Music Exploratory assignments will be given KG Cash.
K-1 students will occasionally be bringing home music worksheets done during music
classes where they have earned music stickers. K-1 students should keep their
music worksheets in a folder at home for future years (extra credit
grades).

A LINE NOTE has a line going through
the center of the note head (the round circle part of the note)
A SPACE NOTE has a line above and below
the note head (the circle part of the note)
NOTE: On a Worksheet - if you see El
that means draw an E on a line; Es = draw an E on a space; etc.

note name and each space, line thereafter is the alphabet going FORWARD (A B C D

the first space above F, you would say F line, G space, then A on
the top short ledger line above G)
Below the staff - the notes go down:
start with the bottom line and say the music alphabet backwards (example: Treble
clef bottom line is E; the note is on the line below the staff; say E then the
