Today we received some concrete direction regarding ongoing schoolwork. The teacher will post math and language assignments in Google classroom every Monday. The students are to complete them at their own pace and turn them in on Friday. The teachers have put together resources for Specials (art, music, p.e., technology) that the kids can choose from each day. I am happy that they finally have a solid plan in place to get our kids through the school year.
We listened to Spring by Vivaldi and then discussed how the music made us feel, and how other kinds of music affects us. When we watched E.T. a week or so ago we noticed how some of the music seemed scary, and if we turned the volume down the movie did not seem scary. Miss Nine could see how music is considered a universal language because everyone can listen and feel the emotions that songs bring up. We also went out on the back porch, closed our eyes and paid attention to the sounds and smells of spring. Then Miss Nine wrote her impressions of the music and the outdoor activity.
When we came in we did an art project using Easter egg shells. I am a rabid recycler and it makes me ecstatically happy to use something that we might have thrown away. So, save your garbage and get creative!
You are so darn clever. Now we have to call you a clever crafty bitch. Love Ya
