Welcome back Diener friends. This is what we have been up to...
In fitness, we continued with our T-Ball unit, working on our throwing and hitting. We also focused on catching pop flys and grounders and making double plays. All of the kids had to aim and throw through three circles shaped like a triangle.
We had a great performance at the Hebrew Home today-the kids were wonderful!!
We had a great week in music class. In the primary class we sang our Thanksgiving songs including "5 Little Turkeys" and "Lets Be Thankful." We read two of our favorite musical books, "5 Green and Speckled Frogs" and "Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See?" In the inters classes, we had some new fun instruments to play for our instrument pass. We also did rhythm stick games and practiced keeping a steady beat! Today, the uppers classes went to the Hebrew Home an did an AMAZING job! The audience loved our singing!
We had a WONDERFUL time in Art class this week! To kick off our activity, the students told me about the Thanksgiving holiday and I read them a story, "Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving! The students were then given featherless turkey cutouts that they had to put in disguise to keep them away from the dinner table. All of the kids came up with their own creative costumes and were so pleased with the final products! Please look for Mack Nuggets Turkey Farm and our Turkeys in Disguise the next time you stop inside Diener.
This week in science, we began our unit on the Human Body. The primary and inters classes examined a skeleton and watched an episode of the Magic School Bus, while the uppers identified the parts of our bodies that we use for our five senses. They also watched an episode of the Magic School Bus that focused on the human body and all of its amazing parts.
We had a great time in the Buddy Program this week. The buddies worked together to find 40 different objects on the Diener School Scavenger Hunt! Each team had three minutes to find 10 objects in four different rooms. The kids were so excited to see their buddies and show them around the school.
The social club is going great! We had a great time making candy corn figures, playing freeze dance, and playing Pirate Adventure on the playground.
In yoga, we jiggled to the beat with drumming music and shook our musical instruments to loosen all the tight places. We did our yoga movements to the story "The Lost Bone" and we challenged our bodies with the "Plank" pose. We ended our session with a relaxation and a hearty "yes" to acknowledge our hard work today!
