Music
The Music classes are going well! The 4th graders are rewriting the lyrics to Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World." The 3rd graders will be working on reading treble clef music soon. All other classes are working on the basic elements of music. We are moving, singing, and learning in many different ways!

3rd Grade Computers
Third graders were so very eager to get their Chromebooks for the first time. Occasionally they will bring their CB's to the lab during their computer class time. This past week, we were learning about how to insert different backgrounds---of course they were all different by the time they finished experimenting. Fun..
The Olympics have been so exciting, so we waited until the events were over to get an accurate medal account. This was put into a Google worksheet and then was converted to a bar graph...with our data. Later in the year we will use data from the Skittles candy to make another graph...Again fun and easy.
Your students are ready to learn and I thoroughly enjoy the time they spend in the lab.
Have a wonderful weekend.

4th Grade Computers
The Olympics have been so exciting to watch and the students love to talk about their favorite event. Our assignment this week was to actually write about one of the events using Google docs and insert an image from our Google search engine into their writing. They were able to format with different font styles and text color. These documents were then printed and hung in the hall outside the computer lab.
Keyboarding skills are first introduced in kindergarten and home row keys are continually being reinforced through 3rd grade. The 4th graders will begin advanced keyboarding instruction and should be keyboard proficient by late November. Watch how your students progress...it's exciting.
Hope to see you tonight at the Crimson and White football game.

Elementary Computers
Hello there,
My name is Mrs. Speck...I am the Elementary Computer teacher. Your child will come to the lab once a week and with the exception of the PS and PK classes, an instructional computer lesson will always be given. Each week in this blog, I will feature one grade level and explain what was happening in that class for the week. At the very bottom of the blog I will also give the websites that were used for each class that week.
I so look forward to having your child in Computer class--having fun, but also learning important computer skills.
Have a great weekend,
.

Elementary PE Olympics 2016
The 2016 Olympic Games began on Friday, August 5th in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, and the elementary PE program would like to stir our students interest in the world games by using the Olympics as our theme to begin the school year. Selected PE classes will participate in some new games as well as many familiar activities but with an Olympic flair.
This activity will involve the classes selecting a participating country (other than the USA) and follow that country's accumulation of medals awarded throughout the events. Each student will select a country of interest and post that country's results.
This project is contingent on the availability of the middle school gym which is scheduled to have new lighting installed as early as this week. The construction currently taking place on the elementary playground and the August heat also restricts our activity space.
Coach Carter and I are excited about this school year and all the activities we have planned for our students. Thank you for allowing us to work with your child.

I am excited to begin this year with everyone!
We will be moving, creating, singing, and generally having great fun in Music class this year.
In grades K-4th, we have a new curriculum from which I will be pulling activities. It will be wonderful and interactive for your children.
I plan to continue to share my love of Music with everyone!

Spanish
¡Hola amigos! We will start our first week in Spanish learning how to greet someone and ask for their name. Practicing these new phrases at home or at your local Mexican restaurant is highly recommended :)!

Guidance
Hello EH Family!! I am excited to serve you and your children as the Elementary and Middle School Guidance Counselor.
Elementary School students will participate in a weekly Social and Emotional Lesson as a part of their Specials rotation.
Middle School students will participate in a monthly lesson in coordination with their Bible class.
Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) allows students to develop the skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
During the month of August our topic will be "Responsibility." Students will be challenged to show "Responsibility" at school at home, and in their community.
