The Arts

From last week's dance party to this week's Christmas Show rehearsals, and writing and art activities to decorate our hallway and classroom, the arts are alive and well at HCA.

Quotes from Santa

The students imagined Santa talking to one of the reindeer, Mrs. Claus, one of the elves, or a boy or girl and then wrote a sentence that included a quote from Santa.  They illustrated their sentences and hung their work to decorate our classroom.



Snowmen

The Second Graders really enjoyed creating a snowman for our hallway display, and they showed their creativity by drawing patterns on the snowmen's scarves and hats.  The students observed the snowmen's differences and we discussed how our differences make each of us very unique.






Dance Party

 At our last Community Time, all students gathered for a dance party. There were lots of smiling faces as the children showed their best dance moves.

Science: Simple Machines In science class the students have been learning about the six types of simple machines: screw, lever, inclined plane, wedge, wheel and axle, and pulley. After learning about inclined planes, the students were given the challenge to create an inclined plane so that a car at the top of a box could travel down the ramp and continue rolling.                               First the students discussed what classroom materials to use to create the inclined plane. Next, they got to work making their ramps and made sure that the car successfully traveled down the ramp. Finally, the students demonstrated how well the inclined planes worked and we measured how far each car traveled. ___________________________________________________________________________ St. Nicholas Day On December 6th, there was much excitement as students left their shoes in the hallway in anticipation of a visit from St. Nicholas.
