Ms. Stout’s Physical Education classes took a well needed day of stretching and relaxation to end the last day of the semester!
Since Snodaze week just ended, we thought you might enjoy a throwback to the 1993 Snodaze Royal Court!
At the 6th grade STEAM Expo, students displayed what they have been learning in Music, Physical Education, and Tech & Innovation. In Physical Education, students performed a Drums Alive routine. Drums Alive® is the original and only research-based, comprehensive, all-inclusive program in the world that applies drumming fitness protocols in a multi-disciplinary way through physical education, fitness, dance, music education, mindfulness, relaxation and inclusion strategies for the improvement of brain and body health and wellness.
In Tech, students built and displayed their own ukuleles. They constructed, painted, decorated, laser engraved, and customized them.
In Music, students played "Jingle Bells" with their ukuleles and displayed their knowledge of tabs and chords. Students also showcased a song that they created in a program called Soundtrap. Students had requirements on the length of their song and what elements it must include, like drums, synthesizers, and recordings of their voices or instrument playing.
A special thank you goes out to Cuyuna Lakes Education Foundation and Crow Wing Power for their donations to purchase the ukulele kits for our students.
7-9th grade Knowledge Bowl competed at CLC on Friday against 21 area teams. Our teams placed 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 16th and 19th. Congratulations!
