PIONEER GOAL FOR WEEK 2:
|
OK PIONEERS!! By February 13th at the end of your meeting with Ms. Viji and Ms. Harris, the class must have worked together to determine what your final "forward-thinking" projects will look like, so that we can begin working on them in Week 3.
So THIS WEEKEND, please explore the ART, MUSIC, and DANCE pages, and be prepared to share your favorite artistic, musical, and dance discoveries with your classmates. Also be ready to explain what made you like the pieces. "It's just cool" is not an acceptable answer! During the week in your enrichment classes, think about how the dances, art, and music that you are working on or looking at could inspire you to create something new and "forward-thinking!" |
