Timber Creek Music Fun
Submitted by Kathy Stark, Timber Creek Elementary



The Kindergarten classes at Timber Creek enjoyed a week of music.  They learned how to keep a steady beat with their bodies and with instruments.  They explored the different sounds of instruments in the classroom and even marched in a parade!  Some brave students sang for their class on a microphone.    

Each week the children will explore different sounds their voices can make, and will learn about famous music composers.  This is going to be a great musical year for the Kindergarten at Timber Creek Elementary.

Matho Brings New Life to Math Skills
Submitted by Michelle Moore, Livingston Intermediate School

Seahorse students in Mrs. Moore's 5th grade classroom had a great time reviewing their whole and decimal numbers with the Matho activity. Students chose 24 numbers from a list, written in standard form, and recorded them on their sheet/card.

Like Bingo, the teacher reads a number, in word form, and the students look for the number on their sheet/card. If they had the number then, they placed a marker on the number. Once they had a "Matho" then, they read the number back to Mrs. Moore in word form. Those that "Matho" correctly received a Math Homework pass.
