From Coach Yarrington and Coach Neisler Save the Date!! January 17, 2020 we will have our CGES PE Family Night in the BWHS Basketball Gym! Come dressed as your favorite super hero and cheer on the teams!! Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for students. Here is the link to RSVP to our event: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UKBHgvRVWXO7vHEI5lT6_o5UnbLqLfO2/view As we prepare for CGES PE Family Night, students will be participating in basketball skills and drills. They will be working on fundamentals such as dribbling, chest pass, and how to shoot a basketball correctly. Students will also learn the basic rules of basketball and how points are earned in a game. At home, take time to watch a few basketball games on tv with your child. As you are watching, explain the basics of the game to them such as - fouls, out of bounds, and free throws. Go to your gym or the local community center and work with your child on passing, dribbling, and shooting. Have fun with it and maybe even play a game of HORSE! | From Mrs. RichardWelcome back everyone! I hope you all enjoyed the break. Computational Thinking and Problem Solving will be the focus for January in STEM lab. All grade levels will also begin STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) projects. The STEAM activities are designed to support the Computational Thinking and Problem Solving Computer Science standards. We’ll be needing some extra things in the lab for our STEAM activities. If you would like to donate, here are some items we would love to have - cotton balls, foil, paper clips, beads, marbles, graph paper, and markers. Thank you! Happy New Year! | From Mrs. PottsWelcome back from Winter Break!! In art we are going to be doing some fun things the month of January: Learning about symmetry, drawing a cardinal, and designing shoes. A fun activity to do with your children is at Crystal Bridges. Make family memories at Winter Break Wonders Keep Creating, Mrs. Potts |

Welcome back from Winter Break!!
In art we are going to be doing some fun things the month of January:

A fun activity to do with your children is at Crystal Bridges.
Make family memories at Winter Break Wonders
Crystal Bridges is collaborating with the Museum of Native American History and the Shiloh Museum to bring Winter Break Wonders to the families of Northwest Arkansas! Families can make memories over school break by coming to the museum for special activities each afternoon, including creative play, puppets, dance, family yoga, beaded mosaics, watercolor painting, snowy slime-making, and more. Winter Break Wonders is completely free to all ages and will take place December 22 through January 4 from 1 to 4 p.m. (and December 24, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.), excluding Tuesdays when the museum is closed.
Keep Creating,

From Mrs. Wall This month in the library, we are learning about...
Please keep reading and FIND YOUR LOST OR OVERDUE BOOKS! I've provided a graphic below that stresses the importance of reading. Happy reading! | From Mrs. TeagueHappy New Year! Kindergartners will begin to explore and singing a variety of songs with expressive elements of music, such has high vs. low and same vs. different. 1st Graders will begin to to write basic rhythms, such as quarter note/rest and paired eighth notes and continue to play various classroom instruments and singing games. 2nd Graders are busy working toward their winter program “Flakes!” We look forward to presenting this program to you at the end of January. 3rd Graders are exploring various elements of more complex rhythms such as sixteenth notes and combinations of two sixteenth/eighth notes while playing various classroom instruments. Look for information to come about Recorders! :) 4th Graders just finished writing and creating melodic patterns using the pentatonic scale and quarter note/rest, half note/rest, paired eighth notes and four sixteenth notes. We had a great time creating these “class songs.” Here are a few interactive websites where you and your student can explore music together! www.nyphilkids.org (New York Philharmonic Kidzone) www.sfskids.org (San Francisco Symphony Kids) www.quavermusic.com (Quaver-Music Curriculum) If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me anytime and I will be happy to respond. Thank you for supporting our Music program! | From Mrs. MusialHappy New Year!! I hope everyone had a great Holiday. We will continue with The Arctic, the animals that live there and the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis). We will do a chalk drawing of The Northern Lights. Then we will visit Antarctica, The South Pole and learn about the animals that live there and why it is an ice-covered landmass, virtually uninhabited by humans. We will do a matching game of animals and where they live. There are some great National Geographic videos of The Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) for students to watch. Happy Travels!! |
