Folk dancing benefits both the mind and the body. It is an excellent form of exercise and social interaction. It also requires cooperation to coordinate movements safely.
Mrs. Moore’s 4th graders enjoyed an Irish Dance to Pete Fire Flame. This dance reinforces clockwise and counterclockwise motion. We also learned how to pivot to change direction.

Mrs. Shelton’s Kindergarteners enjoyed dancing the Limbo Rock. They learned about locomotor and nonlocomotor movements (traveling vs. stationary).
Folk dancing benefits both the mind and the body. It is an excellent form of exercise and social interaction. It also requires cooperation to coordinate movements safely. 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders enjoyed learning a Russian Folk Dance called the Troika.
My library has expanded with some new donations from the book fair. Thank you Brayden, Isabella, Victoria, and a mystery donor!
4th grade studied depth and learned how to create a vanishing point. They were given a choice of mixed media including markers, crayons, and colored pencils.
3rd grade explored radial symmetry and created stained glass windows using tissue paper.
Kindergarten learned about symmetry. We dipped a piece of yarn in black paint and arranged it on one side of our butterfly. We folded the paper over to print the design on both sides. When the paint dried, we colored the wings using crayons and made both wings symmetrical.
1st grade reviewed line, color, and texture and created Hot Air Balloon collages. These are mixed media with oil pastels and tempera cakes.
2nd grade reviewed the color wheel and hid a color wheel as an umbrella. These are mixed media with oil pastels and tempera cakes.
