Madison Heights Specials

                    What’s happening in the Art, Music, PE and Spanish Electives at Madison Heights?

April/May

SPANISH:

¡Hola y bienvenidos!

I am so excited to start the school year. This year we will be learning about all the Spanish speaking countries. We will look at their different cultures in an interactive way incorporating cultural based projects, communication, and language skills and digital access to our Listos interactive platform. I look forward to a fun filled year learning about each country.

MUSIC: 

Welcome Back everyone!! I am so excited to start this new school year. We have so much planned, including performances, music appreciation, as well as a new school set of ukuleles. The first few weeks of school, we are going to work on procedures and how to act in music class. We will also begin with basic rhythmic patterns, while also having some fun with our Orff mallet instruments and drums!

After a couple weeks of learning our procedures and names, our first subjects will include music reading, steady beat, and note values.

PE:  Welcome Back! We will kick off our new school year by cooling off with a spray water battle that teaches us how to listen and freeze (and stay cool outside).  We begin our year learning how to do our warmup with instruction on proper pushups, situps, updowns, and our quick jog.  We will continue with Just Dance with approved songs, and we will be including an Olympic Moment this quarter.  All students will participate in our "FitnessGram" test as well.  After a few games and activities our first unit will be Volleyball.  Students will learn how to bump, set, and serve the volleyball and learn about how to play a game. Remember - 60 minutes of exercise every day! 

ART: 

Welcome back to the Art Studio!! We will be reviewing studio rules and procedures these first two weeks as well as getting ready for our upcoming Kids Kreations Projects.
