P.E.
This year in P.E. we've been very busy. We studied football, basketball, exercise and health, volleyball, and fire safety. Everyday we start P.E. by jogging around the gym when Mr. F turns on the music, then jumping jacks, arm circles, arm twists, toe touches, butterfly stretch, hurdle stretch, and pike stretch.
Art
This year in Art we have studied lots of things. We studied Starry Night (we created our own versions of Starry Night) and elements of art. In art we are currently working on fish pictures. The outline is a simple fish, but then you have a bunch of shapes in it. You can customize your fish. Some have spikes, disco eyes, symmetry, horns, rainbow colored scales, and evil eyes.
Media
In Media this year, we have been studying authors. We watched trailers for the Lemonade Wars, learned about The Boy Who Drew Birds, and today we played some games online. We have been doing a lot of work in the computer lab. We have learned about different reliable websites that we can go to learn stuff. We have been going to the computer lab to practice Type to Learn, also.
Music
Yesterday, Mrs. L got the keyboards out. Last week we did some practice on our recorders. When we practice on the keyboards, we practice songs that we played on the recorders. We've been practicing "Do, Re, Mi..." with a snake activity. We have also been learning notes on the staff, how to read music, and we sometimes play on the xylophones, altos, and bass. Sometimes we add the interments to the songs we are singing.
Reminders:
Sports Day is tomorrow! Wear your favorite team's jersey, clothes, accessories (like necklaces or hats), or colors.
Bring coins or bills for our classroom jar. We are raising money to help the Philippines because of the typhoon.
