Resource:
Library: Kindergarteners are beginning to check out library books as we begin the new year! They will be able to check out a book each week, then trade the book on their library day. Look for a note in their folder with more information about when they come to the library and how to care for their books!
Art: Our awesome little artists have been introduced to a new Element of Art this week: Texture!
Music: Be sure to check out the Music Room website. Pictures and videos are uploaded to share student programs and classroom activities. Students are learning instrument names and playing techniques for new instruments. Multicultural music will be played using hand chimes and the autoharp. A Maori singing and stick game, which was learned earlier this year, will be reviewed.
