Music
April's Composer of the Month is Ludwig Van Beethoven. On Monday, the students learned facts about the life of the German composer and then listened to one of his most popular works, "Ode to Joy". We will continue to work more with his music throughout the month.

Art
In March, we were finally able to finish all our print projects. The students had a great time with this project and did an awesome job with it. Students in 4K-2nd grade were introduced to the artist, Piet Mondrian. They looked at examples of his work and then did Mondrian inspired projects. Students learned that while working on his art, Mondrian liked to listen to swing music. Kindergarten now has a new favorite music genre!

Computers
All classes are continuing to work on their keyboarding skills through drills, Typing Club, and projects. 4k has been working on typing a list of their sight words. Kindergarten is working on typing some quotes from Dr. Seuss. They have also learned how to put their hands on the home row and are working on keeping two hands on the keyboard when typing. First grade finished a Word Doc with the March holidays. They practiced changing font style, size, and color as well adding images from clip art and Google searches. Second grade finished two projects. They finished their president bookmarks that they started in February and then made a poster in Word for Read Across America. Third grade worked on a Web Search Scavenger Hunt. Fourth grade worked on a Family Name/Birthday project and sixth grade was able to finally publish their blog.

Phy Ed
Students are continuing to enjoy their time at the Community Center. Students have been enjoying activities such as "Seuss-tastic" Fitness Stations, Basketball Scramble, Frogger, and Eyes Up, Hands Up. Next week will be our last winter gym class. Please make sure that your student is dressed for the weather as we begin our time outside on April 19th. We will once again be outside in the morning. Please make sure that your child also has an extra pair of shoes at school on these days as the grass is sometimes wet in the morning.
