Grade 6 - Trope Update from Ken

Great to see BOTH trope classes this week, on Tuesday AND Wednesday!

Great to have Justin join us on Tuesday and Arianna on Wednesday!

For next time, students should (if they don't already) have flashcards for all the trope (see list below)

They should make sure to know the name of each symbol, the melody (or melodies), and which other trope it belongs with.

They should listen to tracks 1-11 on the CD or website, and follow along with pages 3-7 in the packet.

On Tuesday we learned/reviewed/highlighted families 1-5 in class, and we'll try to get to the last 5 families next week.  

On Wednesday we finished learning/reviewing/highlighting families 1-10, and introduced ourselves to the trope song on p. 7.

Soon we'll be applying the trope to actual Torah portions.

Thanks, and please let me know if you have questions--

Cantor Ken
