KFC
Reading by Giselle
In KFC (Kool Fun Cookies) we are reading and learning about the
Revolutionary war, and what it was like. We have also been studying a new form
of note taking, called and named the Cornell note taking system. So far, we
have organized it so it will be easier to find information, and have tried it
out with a few different topics.
KFC Writing by Ezra
In KFC Writing, we just finished up writing our last essay for
endangered animals, and our new project is making a giant round poster. These
posters are about our endangered animals, and every group is going to make
their own. These will probably be shown in the Art Walk, so everyone who comes
can see the beautiful art of Room 12.

Art by Amy
In Art,
we are writing cards to ourselves and decorating them. These cards are to check
on how we're doing, since at the beginning of the year, we made our Hopes and
Dreams. We wanted to see if we achieved our Hopes and Dreams. You should make
some Hopes and Dreams and check on how you’re doing once in a while! :)
Jazz Band 2 by Charlotte
In jazz band II we are
working on 3 songs. It don’t mean a thing if it ain't got that swing, Inside
Out, and Killer Joe. For these songs I play the piano and so I play the bass
line in my right hand and the saxophone part in my right haNd. These can be
extremely hard because there can be swing rhythm in the right hand and a steady
beat in my left hand.
Intermediate Orchestra by Athmar
This week in orchestra Mrs. Nelson (our teacher) gave us a new
piece called Joust. It starts out small and boring but then the firsts come in
and help us do the really hard notes. YAY!
in the middle we get some really upbeat and fun notes then get
to the coda and play it one more time. We really have a lot of fun playing with
the notes and acutely playing the notes.

next concert already. The songs we will be playing are, “Pirates of the Caribbean”,

be missing lots of advanced band practices due to breaks!
