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!
Mrs. Hodges’s 5th grade class enjoyed playing Chicken On the Fencepost and practicing some ukulele chords.
Fall art is coming down and I realized I never posted pictures of the hallway displays. This art is by 5th graders. They created rhythm and contour in their leaves and water ripples. We used crayon and watered down tempera paint.
Mr. Neyhart’s 5th graders were rockin’ some Justin Timberlake this morning. We have learned 3 chords on the ukulele and had some awesome teamwork on the drum set. We hope you enjoy this clip from “Can’t Stop The Feeling”.
5th graders developed their drawing skills with “Selfie” Portraits!
Beginning in 2013-2014 school year, I started a tradition with the out-going 5th grade class. They would work together to create a collaborative art piece which is permanently displayed in the school. Following the renovation, many of our halls were bare and desperately needed a splash of color.
The 5th Grade classes of 2017-2018 completed a piece titled "Colorful Imperfection". The six canvases feature the phrase "Even Broken Crayons Still Color". We used old, broken crayons to melt colored wax onto the canvases. In the video below, you can see an example of the art technique in action. We placed the canvases on griddles to provide heat to melt the crayons. We had to use a hair dryer to heat the crayons around the edges near the frame of the canvas. The piece is now displayed in the front lobby of the school above the counselor's office. You should check it out in person the next time you visit the school.
Congratulations to our 5th graders who will be moving on to middle school! Here is a video of their song performance during their send-off ceremony—“Always A Viking”
