PK & Kindergarten Corner
Pk Celebrates Dr. Seuss’ The
Lorax
We celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday by making hats and Lorax characters. We also read Green Eggs and Ham and participated in a whole group cooking activity. The green eggs and ham were yummy!
K celebrates Dr Seuss Day
Several Kindergarteners are
reading AR books and taking
test. Natalie Slaven in Mrs.
Broussard’s room has met her
goal of 10 points and Damon
Caldwell in Mrs. Woods’ class
has met his goal of 15 points.
Way to go Damon and Natalie!
For a Valentine Treat,
kindergarten went to see the
play Aladdin and lunched at
Millennium Park.
On St Patrick’s Day a graph was
done in Math using Lucky
Charms. In Reading, we are
learning about plants and seeds.
We are adding and subtracting in
Math.
Fifth Grade
Fifth grade students had the
opportunity to attend a field trip to
the Calcasieu Parish Courthouse, the
Clerk of Court’s Office, and the
Calcasieu Correctional Center. This
experience greatly enhanced their
application of the D.A.R.E. principles
that they have learned this year.
Fourth Grade
Ready for the AR Country Dance!
4th
grade had a busy nine weeks!
They prepared for the upcoming
LEAP test and even got to dissect
owl pellets!
Third Grade
Third grade classes had a blast
drawing and labeling the “Human
Digestive System”. One student
lied down on the paper, while the
others traced the body. They
worked as a team to draw and
label each part in the Digestive
System. What a great learning
experience!

Student Leadership Team
Student Council made Christmas cards for deployed troops. We also held our annual food drive, which RWV students collected over 1500 items for the needy! Look for the RWV Student Leadership booth at Tuten Park on April 26th for an Arbor Day celebration. Also to wrap up the year, SLC will be hosting our first annual "RWV's Got Talent" talent show!!
Music Notes
We are enjoying our student teacher, Ms. Megan Voorhies. Ms. Voorhies has been doing a great job teaching the children at R. W. Vincent. Most of the PreK, K, and 2
nd graders have figured out how to sing “Hello, Ms. Voorhies”
instead of “Hello, Mrs. White”! We are continuing to listen to music of a great composer during each music lesson. So far this nine weeks we have listened to Antonio Vivaldi, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Aaron Copland, and Johann Sebastian Bach. It is amazing to listen to the students in each class describe the music and explain what they think about while listening. Also, we’ve been learning new skills, songs, and singing games in music while practicing familiar songs, games, and known elements of music as well as preparing new concepts and unknown elements of music. We are continuing to work hard on our music for the annual District Music Assessment on March 20, at Lake Charles-Boston Academy of Learning. We are preparing three pieces for our performance, Sing We Hallelujah, by Franz Joseph Haydn, In My Dreams, by Ruth Watson Henderson, and Al Shlosha D’Varim, arranged by Allan Naplan. We are looking forward to singing for the judges, analyzing and singing the unknown piece in the sight-reading room, and getting to eat lunch and play at the park in the afternoon. We’ll continue to rehearse after District Music Assessment for our performance at the LAKE Festival (which will include three new pieces that we will sing with all the other choirs there) on Saturday, May 3 and for our recital for 3
rd and 4
th graders. Information will be sent home regarding these
activities after our Assessment activities are finished.
