Fun Music Theory
One of 2nd and 3rd grades’ favorite music activities is Music Bingo. While playing this game, the students are learning about the parts of a note, accidental signs, time signatures, notes on the lines and in the spaces, rests, and key signatures with sharps and flats. Some of these things are considered advanced music education, but when it is learned in a fun way, they are eager to show you how they are grasping the concepts, and doing it with speed!

Recorders
In the 4th and 5th grade music classes, the students are rapidly progressing in playing songs on the recorder! They learn fast, they are eager and also excited to play solos. We have spent time on scale drills, on the song Hallelujah, and also introduced the song He Knows My Name, which have great lyrics. Put a recorder in their hands, and they are even inclined to write a song of their own. Great class and some musicians in the making!

Summer Time
The temperature is on the rise and the sun is shining bright with summer on the horizon. KV had an action packed month of June. Starting off with the last Literacy Day of the year a special beach theme gathered children from both Kindergarten classes to make it a memorable one. Students made their way to the library with shades on their faces, and flip flops on their feet, as they laid out their towels pretending to be on the beach relaxed as they heard various summer themed stories. KV also celebrated the momentous occasion of graduation. Twenty-Nine Kindergarten students in light blue and pink cap and gowns crooned out a heartfelt song Yes I can and also recited fourteen Bible verses learned throughout the year in front of an audience of love ones. As they smiled and shook the hands of each of their teachers, and received their diplomas they welcome the 1ST Grade! Congratulations Have A Blessed Summer!

Easter
KV kicked off spring, in celebration of the sacrifice and resurrection of our Savior, with an Easter Eggtravaganza. The students received empty eggs symbolizing the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the tomb creating a route to discuss why we celebrate Easter and the true meaning. One of the memory verses the children learn for the year John 3:16 was recited to remind them of the importance of a Savior.

KV Apartments
Celebrating our Academic Fair KV turned our classroom into a diverse apartment complex inspired by the book Mama Provi’s Pot of Rice, by Silvia Rosa-Casanova. Everything from our bulletin board decorated with cooking pots and wooden spoons to our welcome mat captivated guests into our adorned classroom apartment complete with miniature apartments within. Parents and students went around visiting each miniature apartment observing and sampling delicious cultural diverse dishes as well as complete recipes made by our students. We were a hit in the words of Mama Provi En un por dos tres.

Friendship Letters
KV displayed Jesus’ abundant love for each one of us by sharing special friendship letters with those closest to us. These letters were filled with glitter, lovely colors of pink and red but most of all lots of love. We topped our gifts of love off with our unique creation of heart shaped cats equip with all the essentials and topped off with several small hearts making a unique tail. KV also showcased our acting skills this month in a short skit in Chapel displaying how special we are to Jesus even when we feel as though we have nothing to offer God does and HE LOVES US!

International Week
Jalapeno Bagels was a story about a boy who needed to bring a treat from his culture to school for international week. What a fun story that was for the 3rd graders. We all talked about our families and the foods we eat for the holidays.
