Specials!

We have had a great time in Specials classes this rotation. ROY G. BIV, sculptures, rhyming, and Italian are just some of the things we've been learning. Check out the pictures below!

In Music class, Mr. Endres has been teaching us some Italian

words that composers use when writing songs! 

Forte = fast, Piano = soft

Largo = slow, Presto = fast

In Art class, students learned about sculptures and made 3D rainbows!

ROY G. BIV helps us remember the colors of the rainbow!

 In Art class, students painted a background for their penguin!

Gym Class Fun!

Warming up for gym class!

Penguins in Kindergarten!

On Wednesday, Mr. Eddie, from the Cincinnati Zoo, brought two penguins to visit our kindergarten students. Bubba and Charlie were great entertainers, and our students loved getting to watch them walk around in their enclosure and eat their fish lunch. Students got to smell and feel some penguin feathers and were able to learn a lot of interesting facts from Mr. Eddie.

Conferences

It is conference time again! A green form with conference information is being sent home with your child today. The easiest way to schedule and see the most up to date calendar of available slots is to follow the link (HERE) and choose your time online. If you are unable to do this, feel free to send your form to school with your child and I will schedule it for you, but I cannot guarantee specific time slots if you choose this option. I am including the link to the online scheduling form for your convenience. Conferences will be held on Thursday, February 11th, and Wednesday, February 17th, from 4:30-8:00. Each conference will last 15 minutes and will give us an opportunity to discuss your son/daughter's academic and social progress as well as answer any questions you may have. Please let me know if I can assist you in any way!
