The 6th grade music class is currently
focusing on world percussion. We
are covering West African, Latin
American, and Asian percussion
instruments, as well as how to play
rhythms from these different
cultures.
In visual art class your student will be completing designs for
greeting cards. These card designs will be sent home with a
packet that will allow you to order professionally made
greeting cards with envelopes. Just fill out the packet and
return it to school before the due date and your finished
greeting cards will be shipped to your house.
The Creative Arts class has
been working on drawings of
trees to learn the elements of
art: line, space, shape, form,
value, texture, and color.
In elementary general music,
students have been focusing on the
elements of music, including timbre,
melody, and form. Movement is an
important part of every music lesson
as well!
This is an example of the
quality drawings made by the
students. This drawing was a
collaborative work by Sierra
Garrett, Chasity Spicer,
Cheyenne Riley, and Kaci Moss

According to Americans for
the Arts:
“Arts improve academic
performance. Students with
an education rich in the arts
have higher GPAs and
standardized test scores,
and lower drop-out rates—
benefits reaped by students
regardless of socioeconomic status. Students
with 4 years of arts or music
in high school average 100
points better on their SAT
scores than students with
just one-half year of arts or
music.”
