Each month, Specials teachers will be providing updates to give you a peek into the progress your child is making in Specials classes. If you ever have questions about your child within a particular class please feel free to email that teacher directly. They are always available and happy to help.

This week, students will be working with papier-mâché, so Art class may get messy. Students will wear art shirts, but please have your child dress appropriately. Here are some work samples from last week's Mixed Media unit.

The Cottontails started January with a review about colors, numbers, animals, and parts of the body. The kids have enjoyed playing, singing and dancing. Also, we reviewed numbers and colors with a bingo game. In January, the kids learned about “The Opposites” with memory games, books and songs. They have enjoyed the song: “Arriba, Abajo” by Spanish Together. I tried to mix the class with songs, games, fun activities and books. Also, few weeks ago I started reading Spanish books to them as “Los opuestos”, “La Semana de Cookie” (It is about a cat), Un pato en Bicicleta (about a duck) and ¡Estamos en un Libro! By Mo Willems.
