Art: Our awesome little artists were introduced to another artist this week, Wassily Kandinsky (a Russian painter). He was one of the pioneers of abstract modern art. We have discussed Abstract art and looked at several examples. Students were then able to create their own “Kandinsky Circles” by painting colored circles on paper plates. Kindergarten students used different colored crayons for their circles.
Music: Students from Miss Bowen, Mrs. Reason, and Mrs. Toler’s classes had a wonderful performance at Tuesday evening’s PTA program. Thank you, parents and guardians, for bringing them! The students looked so handsome and beautiful in their attire. They demonstrated self-control, carefully watched the director’s silent cues, and sang with pretty voices. Students will be learning rhythm reading skills, songs of friendship, and patriotic songs this week. Students share about family connections in their homerooms. We will continue that subject in music this week, too.
Tiger Reminders
1. Student Early Check-out time ends at 2:15pm. After 2:15 students will be released during dismissal.
2. Parents it is imperative that all of our scholars arrive to school on time each day. Instruction begins daily at 7:55 and when students are late multiple times a week they are missing vital instructional time. Please make sure that your child arrives to school no later than 7:45.Thank you with your help in this matter as we work together o ensure the academic success of all students.
3. Parents it is crucial that you make sure that your child is at school each and everyday. Each day that your child is out of school they are missing important instruction, which can have a negative impact on their academic success. We want to make sure that all of our Tiger Scholars are successful.
