Learning Lab Exploration
The Sounds of a banjo, a guitar, stand up bass, accordion, the fiddle has been filling the learning labs as students are learning about the rhythm and instruments of Blue Grass and Folk Music. We will be exploring how to play each of the instruments that are present in a Bluegrass Folk band. This week as we listened to Bluegrass and folk we began to sketch and paint the instruments that we could identify in the music. We will also learn to use our resources such as books, photo cards, musical sheets, and information about Bluegrass and Folk music to guide us in forming our ideas and to add details to our sketch and paintings as well as inspiring each of us in writing the narrative of our story about Bluegrass and Folk music. We will also play a music sketching game similar to a musical chair game.

Students will be introduced to charcoal sketching and focus on shades of black, gray and white and the technique of shading!
As we continue to learn more about animals and how to respect them we will continue discussions about wild and tame animals. We will become animal detectives with our binoculars and note pads and observe animals both wild and tame and graph in what group each animal belongs.
Don't forget all month we will be running our collection drives for Nate's Honor Rescue and Satchel's Last Resort. We encourage you to visit both of these amazing organizations. Visit their websites and view the wish lists. Helping animals is an expensive mission and both organizations rely on volunteers and donations.
