Endeavour Elementary - Week 7
Hello Endeavour Families!
Happy Week 7 of learning! The past 6 weeks Music, PE, & Library have been sharing activities with families on their websites, Seesaw, & Quaver. Library will continue to share optional activities weekly in Seesaw for students to participate in. However, Music & PE will now be included in the Essential New Learnings; therefore, a grade will be given at the end of Tri-3. *Reminder per ISD: Tri-3 scores on elementary report cards will reflect what the student earned from Tri-2 unless a higher score is earned based on assessed work completed in Tri-3. We are just asking for participation from now until the end of the trimester. PLEASE do not worry about catching up on past assignments (unless your student wants to). Just start fresh this week. See below on how your student can participate in their Music & PE class from home. The goal is for this to be an easy activity that students can enjoy doing at home. Thank you for all you are doing to help with learning at home. We appreciate you!
Thanks- The Endeavour Specialist Team
Health and Fitness Update with Mrs. Skogstad and Mrs. Marsh
Week 7 with Mrs. Skogstad
Hello Families, I am posting a weekly activity every Friday in Seesaw & on my website: Mrs Skogstad’s PE Website. This gives families a head start on the weekend to do fitness together!
This week: Students can post on their class PE Seesaw page by Friday May 15th to let me know what activities you tried on the Fitness Calendar or email me what you did: skogstads2@issaquah.wednet.edu
The MAY Monthly Fitness Calendar: not due until May 29th.
If your student hasn’t been using their Seesaw account, please sign in to view the P.E. assignments. Please email me for your student’s login information if you need it. Remember: Don’t worry about catching up on past assignments, just start fresh this week. Students will be graded on their participation in activities posted each week. Assignments come out Friday morning and are due by the following Friday. It will continue to be some form of activity log to keep kids active during the week. I expect students to make an effort to do the activities but understand if some of them are not completed. The goal is students are staying active & sharing what they are doing. I also know we all have different spaces, equipment, abilities, and other safety concerns that might interfere. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me.

Music Update with Mrs. Murphy and Ms. Caulton
Week 7 with Mrs. Murphy
Hello everyone! It finally feels like spring outside! My son, Beckett, and I have been enjoying the outdoors this week while I work! He reads books, stacks blocks, and pulls up grass while I am working on school! Have any of you done your schoolwork out in the sun?
This week we are exploring the music of Germany!
To find this week’s materials, click on Mrs. Murphy’s Website, find your grade level, and scroll down! Watch the introductory videos, and then choose 2-3 of the provided activities to explore the Music of Germany.
Email me and tell me about what you learned about the music of Germany this week! You can even send me a picture or a video clip of you interacting with the materials! Reach me at murphyc@issaquah.wednet.edu!
Don’t forget, if you finish this week’s activities and want to keep exploring music, you can find many more enrichment activities for all grades on my website. You can even login to Quaver through Clever to access the Student Portal and explore countless music related games, compositions, and activities!
Starting this week, music is considered Essential New Learning, and will be required. Please reach out if you have any additional questions about this.
