Masterpieces for September

This month's Masterpieces of the Month were Tanner Smith and Amberly Valero. Their artwork demonstrates originality/creativity, is neat, and adheres to our topic of 'lines.'  Each designed and created a piece using a math instrument - a protractor. Congrats Tanner and Amberly!!

Dynamics

This week we studied dynamics in music.  Students did various activities to demonstrate their knowledge of piano (soft) and forte' (loud) - the volume of music - everything from playing miniature cymbals to dancing the salsa.
