Physical Education
5th and 6th grade P.E.
The 5th and 6th grade students
are working on volleyball in class.
The students are doing the
fundamentals of the game that
include: Passing, Setting, and Serving.
We are also talking about the rules
of the game.
We will get into some modified
games of volleyball. Some of the
games are Elimination, King Of The
Court, and Three vs Three volleyball
games.
The students continue to work on
their fitness during warm-up time.
This includes movements to help
their flexibility, strength, and
endurance. With the work they put
in, hopefully it will help their
confidence when testing again.

Computer
5th Grade Computer
Applications
During our Online Communication unit, students will learn about the rules and responsibilities of having a school Gmail account. Intermediate students are expected to check their email at least every other day, from school or home, to stay informed and maintain a well-organized inbox. We discuss the KASD Acceptable Use Policy that students signed at the start of each school year. We learn that sending chain mail and mass emails are against the school policy and can lead to scams and/or computer viruses. Soon, we will be practicing how to format professional emails, and students will compose and send a professional email to another student in class in order to demonstrate their understanding.

World Studies
6th Grade World Studies
As the quarter comes to an end, students are wrapping up their French unit. They completed their Parisian Monument Research Projects, which you’ve no doubt heard about after a month’s worth of researching, preparing, and creating a website for! They look great, and the students will be fabulous tour guides should you decide to take a family trip to Paris!
We will soon be beginning our Spanish unit! Students are excited to learn more about the culture and people of Spanish-speaking countries, with emphasis on Mexico. As always, if you or someone you know has connections to any Spanish-speaking cultures and would be interested in visiting some classes, we are always looking for guest speakers!

Woodland Wolves Chorus Choir students are busy preparing for the concert on December 10th. Practices combining boys and girls will be held on November 26th, and December 3rd and 5th. We will celebrate with a pizza party and viewing of a movie during lunch and recess on December 17th. Pizza will cost around $3.00. Please don’t send money at this time. Look for a note that will specify the details. The Choir is also participating in the Kimberly Area School District Choral Music Festival, which will be held on February 17th in the Kimberly High School Field House. Several students are involved in choir festivals this year. The first festival was singing in Wisconsin, held at Kaukauna High School on Saturday, November 9th. Twelve singers participated in that full day of choral singing. We have 9 students who will be performing at the WCDA All State Choral Festival on January 11th at the Lawrence Memorial Chapel. We also have three students as well as one alternate who auditioned for and were accepted into the North Central Division of the American Choral Directors Honors choir in March!
I am so thankful to work in a school with students and parents that are supportive of music education. Learning music isn’t just for today, it’s for a lifetime!
Healthy Living 5
th Grade
Healthy Living-5
As the quarter has ended, so has our unit
on emotional health. The focus of the unit
was on stress and anger- two emotions that
can significantly negatively affect our
physical, mental and social health. We
learned about the cues our body gives us as
reminders to calm down. We brainstormed
and practiced ways to calm down and talked
about consequences if our bodies are in
“distress”. Feel free to remind your children
about what they learned in health when you
see anger or stress. (One of our most helpful
strategies is to talk about it!) Awareness of
the strategies and how stress and anger affect
us will positively impact our health.
We will start the 2nd
quarter with
Personal Health and Safety. As the fifth
graders are becoming more independent, an
adult is not always going to be right there if
they are physically injured. While
prevention is the most important factor in
staying safe, students also need to know
what to do to help themselves and others if
an injury does occur. We will become
familiar with basic first aid during this unit. I
strongly encourage you to enroll your child
in a babysitting class to help give your child
more knowledge and confidence when
staying home by themselves or with younger
children.
As always, if you have any questions or
concerns, please contact me.

6th Grade Art
The 6th grade students created a three dimensional object out of different size wire. They used many different techniques of wrapping wire with pliers and their hands to create their wire sculpture. The sculpture needed to be 3D, and if their sculpture was flat they needed to wrap many layers of wire around their sculpture. If the students wanted to use colored wire they could incorporate that into their sculpture. When the students were all finished with their wire project the students then made a name tag and used their chrome book to fill out their check off sheet (self- assessment) on our Google classroom. The wire projects will be displayed in the hallways when they are finished.
The Elements of Art we have covered are: Color, Form, Line, Shape, Space and Texture.

Band
We have had a wonderful first
quarter of band getting used to
playing as large groups again. We
have begun practicing concert
music for the 6th grade December
10th concert. Start time for that
concert is 6:30 pm. 5th and 6th
graders are working on Holiday
music which will be played on our
Woodland tour the second week of
December. More information will
follow soon.
As our second quarter begins at
Woodland, please help your student
fill out weekly practice sheets due
on the day of their lesson.
Practicing is an important part of
learning an instrument and
progressing along with the class.
If you have any questions, feel free
to contact us.

MUSIC
Music Room News Fifth grade students have been practicing using our newest rhythms, continuing to explore different ways of making harmony. They are preparing songs for our January 14th concert. This is the same day as the band performance. All 5th grade students are
expected to perform in the evening performance. Attire for the performers is to be dressy – slacks, skirts, or dresses (with low or flat heel) for the girls, khaki or dress pants for the boys with a nice shirt or sweater and dress shoes or dark athletic shoes. Please stay away from logos on the shirts. It would be a great reason to buy some nice dress clothes for
the upcoming holidays. Sixth grade students will be singing during the December 10th concert. This concert is for all students in sixth grade and will include the entire class. They are singing familiar songs and performing with African instruments. It will be a
great concert! It is expected that every sixth grade student will be in attendance. Attire for the performers is also to be dressy – slacks, skirts, or dresses (with low or flat heel) for the girls, khaki or dress pants for the boys with a nice shirt or sweater and dress shoes or dark athletic shoes. Please stay away from logos on the shirts. For the remainder of
the quarter, we will continue to learn how to read music out of choral scores in preparation for 7th grade choir and future singing opportunities, and also play songs on the tone chimes. Choir students are also busy preparing for the concert on December 10th. Practices combining
boys and girls will be held on November 26th, and December 3rd and 5th. We will celebrate with a pizza party and viewing of a movie during lunch and recess on December 17th. Pizza will cost around $3.00. Please don’t send money at this time. Look for a note that will specify the details. The Choir is also participating in the Kimberly Area
School District Choral Music Festival, which will be held on February 17th in the Kimberly High School Field House.

We are encouraging school and community members to become the eyes and ears of the Kimberly Area School District in order to provide information that keeps our students, staff and schools safe.
It sometimes can be difficult to define:• Take your time to pay attention to your
surroundings and to the behaviors of others around you.
• Know what suspicious or concerning behaviors look like.
• Does the activity look strange to you?• Are you worried someone you know is thinking about hurting others or themselves?
Report it, don’t just repeat it.
