👋 Hello families,

Here’s a look at what’s happening in the specials classrooms this month. We’ll share what students are learning, important reminders, and ways you can stay connected and support learning at home.

In this week’s update:

1. Join a Club

2. Meet Mr. Nelson, our new STEM teacher!

3. Important dates and resources

4. Wish lists from the Specials teachers.

Our Sand Creek library is looking for volunteers! Come help our specials team

keep our library organized, welcoming, and ready for students to enjoy. Volunteers may assist with tasks such as shelving and organizing books, checking books in and out, helping students locate materials, assisting with our Scholastic Book Fair, and supporting other library needs.

Whether you can help regularly or occasionally, we would love to have you! Please complete this short form to let us know you're interested and when you may be available. Our library team will follow up with additional information.

We’re off to a great start! Students are building relationships, getting comfortable in the music room, learning our procedures, and getting back into the fun of making music together. We’re playing lots of games, exploring our instruments, and creating a positive music community.

It’s not too late to sign up for Choir, Orchestra or Band! Come join the fun! 🎵

Due to a scheduling conflict, choir will now meet on Mondays from 7:30am-8:20am.

🤖 Welcome, Ryan Nelson!

We’re excited to welcome Ryan Nelson to our specials team! Ryan joins us from Pine Lane and brings more than 20 years of experience as an educator. He’s already dreaming up so many exciting STEM ideas, and we can’t wait to see them come to life in the STEM room! From LEGO robotics to hands-on challenges and creative problem-solving, students are in for an exciting year of discovery, building, and innovation. 🚀

We are so excited to be back in the Art Room!

We’re kicking off the year with introductions, learning our Art Room policies and procedures, and working together to keep our creative space organized, respectful, and always evolving.

We’ll also be talking and thinking about some BIG questions:

What IS Art?
How would you describe art?
Why is art subjective?
Why is art so important and involved in everything we do?

Art is everywhere—from the way we see the world to the way we communicate, solve problems, express ourselves, and understand others.

And this is just the beginning!

There is SO much more to come in the Art Room!
Let’s make this a creative, inspiring, and amazing year together!

Welcome back, artists!
