Hive Happenings at South Lexington February 6

South Lexington Schools PTO

We are excited to have our first official FTO since COVID at South Lexington. At our first meeting, we nominated our FTO representatives. If you could not attend the meeting - DON'T WORRY - there will be other meetings and ways to get involved in supporting South Lexington. Please, be on the lookout for meeting dates and times.


We are off to a great start, but we still need your help joining us for SIT meetings. You are welcome to join the meeting virtually if you cannot attend at the regular meeting time. Our regular scheduled meetings are on the second Wednesday of the month at 3:30. The next meeting is on February 8. Please get in touch with Dr. Richards jrichards@lexcs.org or Mrs. Blackburn mblackburn@lexcs.org to get the link for the meeting.

Artsy Activities in the Hive with Ms. Wick

Students have been learning about symmetry in art with our Happy Penguin Art Project. Students are also working on their skills with scissors and glue. Students will continue to use patterns in our new project.

Bee's with a Beat

In Mrs. Franks' music classes, we are learning about how music changes. It can be loud (forte), soft (piano), fast (allegro), or slow (largo). As you are listening to music at home or in the car, your student can identify the dynamics (how loud or soft) and tempo (speed) of the music!



En las clases de música de la Sra. Franks, estamos aprendiendo cómo cambia la música. Puede ser alto (forte), suave (piano), rápido (allegro) o lento (largo).
