Unified Arts

The students at KES made place mats in art class for Project Pilgram. The Kindergarten students decorated their place mats with turkeys by tracing their hands. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade students decorated their place mats with Native American pictographs. Project Pilgram gave our students an opportunity to connect with our local community. Many thanks to Mrs. Buffum for overseeing this project and also many thanks to all the students that donated their place mats to Project Pilgram.

Kindergarten students have been learning about safe and healthy ways to move their bodies in the gym.  They are beginning to understand moving with an awareness of others and their surroundings.  Students are learning many fundamental motor skills such as locomotor (running, hopping, leaping, galloping, sliding, jumping and skipping). throwing and catching, kicking and trapping, dribbling, and striking. 

One of our favorite warm-up activities is a musical motor activity to the song "Tony Chestnut". Mrs. Towne's class has agreed to perform this activity at Monday Morning Meeting on December 2, 2007.  Parents are welcomed to attend this 8:30 school-wide meeting.

We are fortunate to have two twenty minute P.E. classes and two twenty minute music classes this year. Students are definitely benefiting from the extra time.
