| There are a few activities next week where the instructors have asked us to pass on a note to the students. Please read through the following and check with your student if any of these apply to them. (We have also sent this information out as an email to each MS student.) Set Painting: We will be using acrylic paints that do not wash out. Bring or wear old clothes. Sometimes kids can be a little messy but fun. Soccer Training: Please bring a soccer ball, tennis shoes, & PE clothes. Lowell Farm and Wildlife: Please bring old boots, warm coat, hat, & work gloves as we will be outside part of the time. Baking 101: Please bring the following items to school if possible: hand mixer, set of mixing bowls or 1 large one, spatula, measuring cups, and measuring spoons (these items will be left at school for the week and stored in the kitchen) Fitness/Yoga: Students should wear comfortable/PE type clothes. Stop Motion Films: To help us all have the most fun and make the best videos we can, here are a few reminders: 1) If you have a USB WebCamera, please send it in with your student. 2) Please send your child with Legos, plastic figurines, Play-Doh or other items to use as props. 3) Students will need their laptop. 4) This past summer Mr. Musch, Mrs. Van Noord and Mr. Kiser did a test run in making stop motion films with students. Click to view one of those projects. Boxing Fitness: Please bring dry shoes (to change into at the gym) and PE/workout clothing. Martial Arts & Self-Defense: Please bring comfortable/PE type clothing for moving around. Build it - Test it - Compete it: If you have any CD's you could part with, please send them to school with your child, we can use them as mousetrap car wheels. Scrapbooking: Students need to bring photos, a scrapbook, and any paper/stickers they may want to use. If you have any other supplies that we could borrow, please label them and we will return them to you! Also, we are accepting donations of paper/stickers, etc. that you may no longer use (if you are now doing digital photo books.) Thanks. Winter Adventure Club: The weather for our outdoor activities will be great because there is lots of snow but it will also be extremely cold. Each day please wear snow pants, gloves, hats, and warm winter coats. Tuesday = Cross Country Skiing, Wednesday = Snowshoeing (wear snow boots, the snowshoes fit over them), Thursday = Ice-skating, and Friday = Cannonsburg skiing/snowboarding. Poetry & Hip-Hop: Students will only need to bring themselves, a confident attitude, their laptop, and a pen or pencil. All other resources to be used in class will be provided by Mr. Huttenga. Film Study: Students only need to bring a pen or a pencil to class, as well as their laptops. This weekend, I will be sending the list of films we will be watching in class. This will include a description of each film and a permission slip to ensure that each parent knows and understands the films that we will be studying in this class. Winter Survival: Dress warm. This means boots, snow pants, gloves and hat.
Exploring Art Mediums: Students will be given an activity to complete with their parent for our second class. This activity will involve an interview with one parent about their job and then collecting multiples of one low cost or cast-off items that the parent uses in their everyday job.
