Art
Greetings Amazing Holt Artists,
I hope that you guys are well. I thought it might be fitting to watch a drawing video on youtube.
The video is on how to draw a bright bunny. You will need paper, pencil, colors, markers, or colored pencils and washable paint it you have it. It is fine to use whatever you have at home.
The link is Bright Bunny Drawing and Painting/Draw and paint along with Patty @ youtube.com.
This is a fun video on how to draw a bunny. Patty is an art teacher and I think that many of you will really enjoy her video: https://youtu.be/V8LS57tgNxo
After you complete your bunny, send me a picture on my email . Check with your parents first.
Miss my most wonderful amazing artists, Mrs. Voronin❤️❤️

Music
Holt Musicians! I hope you and your families are doing well. Speaking of families remember that instruments have families too! They are grouped together by their family traits. Brass, Woodwinds, Strings, and Percussion are the 4 families of instruments found in the Orchestra.
Check out these awesome videos about the families of instruments in the orchestra.
After the videos, draw an instrument from each of the 4 families: Brass, Woodwinds, Strings, and Percussion.
For an extra challenge, divide a piece of paper into 4 parts by making a "+" on the paper. Label each part with one of the names of the instrument families. List or draw as many instruments from each family that you can remember. Spelling does not count.
Now, here is a cool experiment...see if your parents have some yarn. If so, cut off a long piece of string. Put one end of it under your foot and step on it, pull tightly on the other end all the way up to your ear. Hold it close to your ear with one hand and pluck the string with the other hand while the string is tight under your foot. Can you hear a sound? Loosen it just a bit and try it now. It should change pitches just like a stringed instrument. Pretty cool!!!
If you have plastic Easter eggs, fill it halfway with uncooked rice or beans, then tape it shut. Now, shake, shake, shake, shake!!! Send me videos of the music you can make!
I will be posting more music activities in the Holt Music Google Classroom. Come join me!

Technology
Happy Spring!
I have loved hearing from some of you through Google Classroom! Remember, you can contact me with any questions through email, or by messaging me in classroom.
Kindergarten and First Grade! Did you know that you have your own Tech Apps page through Canvas? On that page, I have the link to our Grade level page used during Tech Apps Class, as well as a few "how to" videos for accessing new learning!
Families can access abcya.com for free ( no commercials) by accessing this link:https://www.abcya.com/subscribe/free
Once signed up, students can check out their own decorate an egg activity.
You do not have to create an account on ABCya, however, creating one will eliminate banner ads and commercials that play before games.
2nd and 3rd Grade can login to their Google Classroom Tech Apps class to decorate their own digital Eggs using a Google slides template I've uploaded for you. You can access Classroom through Classlink. I've kept all student classrooms the same as they had during Tech Apps class.
4th Grade has an activity uploaded in Google Classroom to create their own Digital Dream Board! Full instructions are also available in their Tech apps Google Classroom!
The video I posted for them to view is also available here.
Want more tech ideas? Have questions? Email me at SherryCorley@misdmail.org
I’m here to help, and would love to hear from you!
