Art Update in Grade 5
Library Update in Grade 5
All of our students learned about the upcoming eclipse this week in Library. We read books, watched a video, and students explored a choice board of resources online.
Music Update in Grade 5
5th graders are learning a 3-part song, using recorders, tubano drums, and claves. “Rainforest Song” is teaching the students new rhythms, musical form, and how to combine 3 different instruments in one song! Every 5th grader will learn all 3 parts and will be assigned an instrument to focus on in class!
Please visit https://www.gahannaschools.org/families/enrollment for information on how to enroll your incoming Kindergartener for next year. Please help spread the word to your neighbors and friends who have a child who will be 5 by August 1st. Blacklick Elementary's Kindergarten Kick-Off Open House event for parents and students will be Thursday, May 2nd from 6:00 - 7:30 PM.
The next PTO meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 16, 2024 in the library at 6:30 PM.
The Blacklick PRIDE Partner PTO has complied a list of the staff's favorite things. It is important to understand the teachers are not asking for gifts. We know that many parents might want to get their child's teacher a gift and this list is to help you select something the teacher would like. Please do not feel obligated to buy a gift for your child's teachers/staff members. A thoughtful note from you and/or your child at any time of the year is appreciated just as much or more as any gift.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Karen Davidson, PTO President, at ptoblacklick@gmail.com.
