We are starting to wind things down in Combined Arts. In art, we will be learning about the last few elements of art and beginning our final project for the year. 4K has been busy working on their texture flowers, which will will be putting together next week. The rest of the classes have been learning about geometric and organic shapes working on their shape projects.
Next week in phy ed. we will be starting our Olympic Games. Students will be participating in track and field events as well as some gymnastics and whatever else I can dream up.
In computers, the lower grades will continue working on keyboarding skills, such as finding the letters on the keyboard, using the arrows, and using the backspace, enter and shift keys. Third grade will continue with their keyboarding. They have now mastered the home row and are now working on the top row. Grades 4-6 have finished basic keyboarding and will be moving on to the 10-key (number pad), keyboard shortcuts, and function keys, if time permits.
In music, the lower grades are ending the year with the musical "Mary Poppins." the students will watch the movie and we will then talk about the music. The upper grades will continue to learn about reading music.
