Specialty Class Update 10/21/2024 – 11/08/2024

By alpineweb Specialty Classes Update

Rotation: 10/21/2024 – 11/08/2024

Music – Mrs. Hunt [email protected]

1st grade is learning about program music. We will listen to the music and story of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice and then create our own story and put it to music. We act out the story while the music is played so we create program music. We will learn Dem Bones and how our own skeleton is important to take care of. We can keep our body strong by eating healthy, exercising, and getting the rest we need. We will be singing fun Halloween songs as well.

2nd grade is learning the Glow songs and is going through the script and learning their parts in the musical. We will learn fun Halloween songs.

3rd grade is learning the Veteran’s Day songs and will be performing for you on Monday, Nov. 11 at 9:30 am. We will learn fun Halloween songs with rounds and circle games.

4th grade is learning how to play the recorder. We will review B, A, and G and then start playing fun songs. We will learn E and D as well. We will learn the Australian unofficial national anthem, Waltzing Matilda and learn fun Australian words.

5th grade is learning to play the ukulele and are playing a few songs with C, C7, G7, and F. We are playing songs with strumming techniques and even singing while playing. WE are learning what a minstrel song is and what minstrel shows were in the 1800’s. They have been learning Camptown Races. We are learning about singing a melody and a descant together.

6th grade is continuing to learn fun songs for their pillow concert later this year. They are getting better at drum lines and bucket drumming with fun rhythms.

Each rotation has learned about these composers so far:

Beethoven, Mozart, Saint Saens, and this rotation is Bach. Ask your child about any of these composers and see if they can tell you something you don’t know!

Computer Lab – Mrs. Stonely [email protected]

Kindergarten – Digital Citizenship: Students learned about media balance and the importance of keeping our lives balanced.

Lesson: Students developed their coding skills by working on the website, “Kodable”. Kodable helps students develop fundamental coding skills, grow confident in their problem solving, and experience the joy of real coding and creation.

1st Grade – Digital Citizenship: We discussed what is private information and when not to share it online.

Lesson: Students got to experience Bee Bots, working with a partner they had to program their robot to follow the sequence of a nursery rhyme and code the Bee Bot through a maze.

2nd Grade – Digital Citizenship: Students discussed how they can help put a stop to online meanness and how being a good friend in the real world is the same when they are online.

Lesson: Students worked with Bee Bots. Students worked in pairs coding Bee Bots through several mazes. Students were also introduced to a grid treasure map where they had 3 levels to code their Bee Bot through.

3rd Grade – Digital Citizenship: We talked about the importance of media balance, students discussed the digital habits we form and how some can be good and others are not.

Lesson: Students coded a program in Scratch. Students had to create a program using animation (changing costumes), changing backdrops, adding speech and sound. It was a lot of fun to see the creativity of the 3rd graders.

4th Grade – Digital Citizenship: Students discussed what a “Super” Digital Citizen looks like and what superpowers a super digital citizen would have. The students decided that the best super power a person could have is kindness.
Lesson: Students got to experience AI. Students got to talk to a mountain man and learned about their impact on Utah history. Students also created a mountain man tall tale using AI and generated a mountain man picture. Ask your child about their amazing tall tale.

5th Grade – Digital Citizenship: Students learned about digital friendships, how they can be positive and negative. We discussed red flags to watch out for as they make friends online.

Lesson: Students coded maze games in Scratch. Students had to design the maze, code their sprite (character), incorporating “If / then” blocks. Some students created multiple levels to their maze games.

6th Grade – Digital Citizenship: We discussed their plans on how to be safe online. Students shared their plan of what they will do when they see an inappropriate picture, or receive a message from a stranger online.
Lesson: Students worked on reinforcing their typing skills by working on a Finger Family tutorial. Students experienced some dictation and had some fun race typing on Nitro Type.

Art – Mrs. Clarke [email protected]

Our art this last rotation was inspired by the artist Louise Bourgeois who is most famous for her spider sculpture called Maman that can be found all around the globe, including 2 in Washington DC. We also made spider webs for our tin foil sculptures to live.
