I don’t have time to hang all the artwork in the hallway, but here are some great examples that I had to share.
5th Grade-Geo Snowflakes exploring positive and negative space. Kindergarten-Penguin Collages practicing drawing, cutting, and gluing. 1st Grade-Painted Penguins. We worked in fine motor skills with a paintbrush. We didn’t draw any of the penguin shapes before painting. 2nd Grade-Snow Globes. We explored a new resist technique with salt water. Mix a solution of 1 cup hot water and 1 cup Epsom salts. Paint on dark colored paper and it will form crystals as it dries.

The Bullitt Central Drama Club will be performing Aladdin in March. Save the dates! Lots of former Vikings will be represented, including Lillian Corbett as Princess Jasmine.
Mrs. Strange’s kindergarten class enjoyed adding sound effects to The Three Billy Goats Gruff. We are learning about high and low sounds and are practicing one of the most important skills of a musician—staying silent when it is not your turn. (We’ve got some more practicing to do before that skill is perfected! ?)
Lots of former Vikings got to visit today. The Bernheim Middle School 6th Grade Band came to perform for the 5th graders. If your child is interested in joining band next year, they should receive information soon about the instrument rental night.
I think the last video of “Ho Hey” got muted due to copyright. So, this performance is totally acapella. Mrs. Hodge’s class really enjoyed performing “One Call Away”.
Mr. Neyhart’s 5th graders were rockin’ Ho Hey on the ukes!
2nd graders had their first day on ukuleles. Here is Mrs. Bodner’s class playing “Green Cats Eat Ants” by plucking open strings. They are sharing in partners right now. I love seeing them help each other.
Kindergartners are starting a unit on dynamics. We used the game Closet Key to practicing singing quiet and loud. The rules are similar to the game hot and cold. If the student gets close to the keys, we sing louder, if they are far away, we sing quietly.
The kindergarteners are spending more time on the mallet instruments. Mrs. Shelton’s class enjoyed adding sound effects to the nursery rhyme Wee Willie Winkie. We also practiced reading a clock and letting the gong chime the hour.
