Physical Education

5th and 6th grade P.E.

The 5th and 6th grade students

are working on volleyball in class.

The students are doing the

fundamentals of the game that

include: Passing, Setting, and Serving.

We are also talking about the rules

of the game.

We will get into some modified

games of volleyball. Some of the

games are Elimination, King Of The

Court, and Three vs Three volleyball

games.

The students continue to work on

their fitness during warm-up time.

This includes movements to help

their flexibility, strength, and

endurance. With the work they put

in, hopefully it will help their

confidence when testing again.

Computer

5th Grade Computer

Applications

During our Online Communication unit, students will learn about the rules and responsibilities of having a school Gmail account. Intermediate students are expected to check their email at least every other day, from school or home, to stay informed and maintain a well-organized inbox. We discuss the KASD Acceptable Use Policy that students signed at the start of each school year. We learn that sending chain mail and mass emails are against the school policy and can lead to scams and/or computer viruses. Soon, we will be practicing how to format professional emails, and students will compose and send a professional email to another student in class in order to demonstrate their understanding.

World Studies

6th Grade World Studies

As the quarter comes to an end, students are wrapping up their French unit. They completed their Parisian Monument Research Projects, which you’ve no doubt heard about after a month’s worth of researching, preparing, and creating a website for! They look great, and the students will be fabulous tour guides should you decide to take a family trip to Paris!

We will soon be beginning our Spanish unit! Students are excited to learn more about the culture and people of Spanish-speaking countries, with emphasis on Mexico. As always, if you or someone you know has connections to any Spanish-speaking cultures and would be interested in visiting some classes, we are always looking for guest speakers!

Woodland Wolves Chorus Choir students are busy preparing for the concert on December 10th. Practices combining boys and girls will be held on November 26th, and December 3rd and 5th. We will celebrate with a pizza party and viewing of a movie during lunch and recess on December 17th. Pizza will cost around $3.00. Please don’t send money at this time. Look for a note that will specify the details. The Choir is also participating in the Kimberly Area School District Choral Music Festival, which will be held on February 17th in the Kimberly High School Field House. Several students are involved in choir festivals this year. The first festival was singing in Wisconsin, held at Kaukauna High School on Saturday, November 9th. Twelve singers participated in that full day of choral singing. We have 9 students who will be performing at the WCDA All State Choral Festival on January 11th at the Lawrence Memorial Chapel. We also have three students as well as one alternate who auditioned for and were accepted into the North Central Division of the American Choral Directors Honors choir in March!

I am so thankful to work in a school with students and parents that are supportive of music education. Learning music isn’t just for today, it’s for a lifetime!

Healthy Living 5

th Grade

Healthy Living-5

As the quarter has ended, so has our unit

on emotional health. The focus of the unit

was on stress and anger- two emotions that

can significantly negatively affect our

physical, mental and social health. We

learned about the cues our body gives us as

reminders to calm down. We brainstormed

and practiced ways to calm down and talked

about consequences if our bodies are in

“distress”. Feel free to remind your children

about what they learned in health when you

see anger or stress. (One of our most helpful

strategies is to talk about it!) Awareness of

the strategies and how stress and anger affect

us will positively impact our health.

We will start the 2nd

quarter with

Personal Health and Safety. As the fifth

graders are becoming more independent, an

adult is not always going to be right there if

they are physically injured. While

prevention is the most important factor in

staying safe, students also need to know

what to do to help themselves and others if

an injury does occur. We will become

familiar with basic first aid during this unit. I

strongly encourage you to enroll your child

in a babysitting class to help give your child

more knowledge and confidence when

staying home by themselves or with younger

children.

As always, if you have any questions or

concerns, please contact me.

6th Grade Art

The 6th grade students created a three dimensional object out of different size wire. They used many different techniques of wrapping wire with pliers and their hands to create their wire sculpture. The sculpture needed to be 3D, and if their sculpture was flat they needed to wrap many layers of wire around their sculpture. If the students wanted to use colored wire they could incorporate that into their sculpture. When the students were all finished with their wire project the students then made a name tag and used their chrome book to fill out their check off sheet (self- assessment) on our Google classroom. The wire projects will be displayed in the hallways when they are finished.

The Elements of Art we have covered are: Color, Form, Line, Shape, Space and Texture.

Band

We have had a wonderful first

quarter of band getting used to

playing as large groups again. We

have begun practicing concert

music for the 6th grade December

10th concert. Start time for that

concert is 6:30 pm. 5th and 6th

graders are working on Holiday

music which will be played on our

Woodland tour the second week of

December. More information will

follow soon.

As our second quarter begins at

Woodland, please help your student

fill out weekly practice sheets due

on the day of their lesson.

Practicing is an important part of

learning an instrument and

progressing along with the class.

If you have any questions, feel free

to contact us.

MUSIC

Music Room News Fifth grade students have been practicing using our newest rhythms, continuing to explore different ways of making harmony. They are preparing songs for our January 14th concert. This is the same day as the band performance. All 5th grade students are

expected to perform in the evening performance. Attire for the performers is to be dressy – slacks, skirts, or dresses (with low or flat heel) for the girls, khaki or dress pants for the boys with a nice shirt or sweater and dress shoes or dark athletic shoes. Please stay away from logos on the shirts. It would be a great reason to buy some nice dress clothes for

the upcoming holidays. Sixth grade students will be singing during the December 10th concert. This concert is for all students in sixth grade and will include the entire class. They are singing familiar songs and performing with African instruments. It will be a

great concert! It is expected that every sixth grade student will be in attendance. Attire for the performers is also to be dressy – slacks, skirts, or dresses (with low or flat heel) for the girls, khaki or dress pants for the boys with a nice shirt or sweater and dress shoes or dark athletic shoes. Please stay away from logos on the shirts. For the remainder of

the quarter, we will continue to learn how to read music out of choral scores in preparation for 7th grade choir and future singing opportunities, and also play songs on the tone chimes. Choir students are also busy preparing for the concert on December 10th. Practices combining

boys and girls will be held on November 26th, and December 3rd and 5th. We will celebrate with a pizza party and viewing of a movie during lunch and recess on December 17th. Pizza will cost around $3.00. Please don’t send money at this time. Look for a note that will specify the details. The Choir is also participating in the Kimberly Area

School District Choral Music Festival, which will be held on February 17th in the Kimberly High School Field House.

We are encouraging school and community members to become the eyes and ears of the Kimberly Area School District in order to provide information that keeps our students, staff and schools safe.

It sometimes can be difficult to define:• Take your time to pay attention to your

surroundings and to the behaviors of others around you.

• Know what suspicious or concerning behaviors look like.

• Does the activity look strange to you?• Are you worried someone you know is thinking about hurting others or themselves?

Report it, don’t just repeat it.
