Exciting news about our new program this year... Warrior SPECIALS!
I am so excited to announce that after spending many weeks searching for the perfect curriculum & creating a schedule that allows our students to work with their age appropriate peers and skills, our students will rotate through one 30 minute art, music, and P.E class each week! *Middle grades will rotate through 1 art class and 2 P.E classes.
What grade levels will rotate together during specials?
Art: Kindergarten & 1st, 2nd & 3rd, 4th-middle grades
Music: Kindergarten-2nd, 3rd-5th
P.E: Kindergarten-2nd, 3rd-5th, middle grades
What skills will my child be learning during specials?
Art: Kindergarten-3rd grade will spend the year learning about famous artists and creating work that aligns with their particular style. 4th-8th grade will create a variety of art projects including but not limited to clay, color theory, portraits, watercolor, and more.
Music: Kindergarten-2nd grade will learn to use Boomwhackers, musical shakers, and practice for our programs throughout the year. 3rd-5th grade will learn to play the recorder and practice for our programs throughout the year.
P.E: All students will follow our PE curriculum and participate in differentiated games and exercises using bean bags, hula hoops, long and short jump ropes, scooter boards, parachutes, yoga, and more.
How can I help support specials at GCA?
