Another week flew by! Thank you for all the help and support you provide your child at home. In writing, the students have chosen one story idea from their collection of entries to focus on, and now we will work on revising, editing, and publishing those pieces. The students and I are excited to be embarking on these adventures. You can continue to help with this by encouraging your child to read and write at home. The more they do this, the better they will become!
As an update on our other classes, in Math we are working on fractions; in Social Studies we are learning about Utah's geography; and in science we are finishing up learning about Earth and will be talking about the moon this week.
Also, here is the update for Dance and Health this week:
Dance - Students will discover the four elements of dance that will be individually explored throughout the year which include Body, Space, Time, and Energy. Students will explore and discuss the following questions: Who is a dancer? Can everyone dance? Students will then reach a guided conclusion that everyone is a dancer. Lastly, students will learn the "body dance" and recognize how special and unique their own body is.
Health - Students will be introduced to the most recent nutritional chart used, MyPlate. Students will begin to identify the various food groups that should be included in their daily diets. Students will also play a fun exercise-promoting game called the Moving More Game.
