Welcome Back! Its time for another fun year in the Art Room with Ms. Manning. Porkchop and I have been busy all summer making new plans to increase your skills, create artwork with big ideas and connect to things you are learning in the classroom. A few of the ideas Porkchop brought up were voted down (making dog treats in creative shapes, coming up with a new Halloween costume for him) but stay tuned for a few of his ideas that did pass our high standards.

Come ready to work and …

Bring Your Smile!!!

Welcome back! We hope you have stayed active over the summer and are ready for PE Class.

During the 1st Marking Period students in Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade will be developing locomotor skills (hop, jump, skip, leap, gallop, slide, walk, and run), soccer skills (passing and trapping), and will explore parachutes.

Students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades will begin the year completing a Teamwork and Cooperation Unit. Throughout this unit students will have the opportunity to work with all of their classmates, learn various ways to communicate, and solve tasks as a group by refining cooperation skills in soccer (passing, trapping, shooting, offense, and defense).
