Thank you to those who read our blog. We have formally changed our daily update to a weekly Friday blog that we call Friday Follow UP! On this blog, you will find information about our weekly specials including yoga, drama, art, music, science and fitness. All language arts and math information and updates will be distributed via email or your child's folder on Mondays and Fridays! Enjoy!
This week in fitness we worked on balancing on the balance beam, catching bean bags, frisbees while walking through traffic (don't worry, our kids were the traffic!). This improves body awareness and paying attention to their surroundings.
In dance we did the hokey pokey, practiced our dance moves, and had a ball!
In yoga we worked on breathing techniques. We sat back to back with friends and listened to how we felt each other's breathing. We learned yoga positions such as downward dog, sleeping baby, cat, and lion. The kids started and ended each class with our yoga bell.
In art, our students worked with primary colors and "cold colors". Our primary and inters classes made color collages using red, yellow and blue and our uppers used various shapes and colors to create a collage with "contrast".
In drama, our students laughed as they enjoyed several games with Mr. Jim. Some classes played, "The Magic Suitcase" game while others played, "Guess who I am". Please ask your students about their fabulous drama experience!
This week in music, we have been working on the connection between music and movement. Our primary and inters classes have been singing fun songs such as "Bop til you drop" and "Bear Hunt" and "Count and More". In the uppers classes we have been singing lots of fun songs such as selections from High School Musical and "Ol' Time Rock and Roll."
After weeks of investigations and observations in science to confirm our hypothesis on scientific subjects such as weather and tornados, we are currently exploring the five senses. We used our five senses to further examine all 5 senses!
