This week, we have three videos. The first is a compilation of some of our favorite pictures taken during the performance of The Wizard of Oz.
The second is a culmination video of the Kindergarten's Playing with the Classics (curriculum by Dr. Peggy Bennett) unit. I love seeing students enjoy classical music.
The third is an impromptu video that the Kindergarten insisted on recording after they started to learn Lava from the Pixar Short Film.
You can view all of the beautiful photos from The Wizard of Oz on the PRIS Website, or click on this link to go directly to the album.
Today in Kindergarten library, we had a guest-reader. Mr. Mark has become extremely popular amongst the children and they were so excited to have him read to them.
This week, students are finishing up their piano/iPad unit in music and their Bravery/Courage unit in Library.
After the holiday, the students will start several different units. All grades will start preparing for the end-of-year/end-of-school concert, tentatively titled "PRIS Final Farewell". This past week, students in grades 3-8 began to plan what that concert would look like.
Pre-K and Kindergarten students will begin a Rhythm Band unit--watch for videos on the YouTube Page.
Grades 1-2 will learn some basics of ukulele and recorder.
Grades 3-4 will also study recorder, with the option to continue on ukulele if they prefer.
And Grades 5-8 will do a joint Language Arts and Music unit involving poetry, lyrics, and composition, utilizing GarageBand, the keyboards, and other instrumentation.
