Music
At Amanda North, students go to music for forty-five minutes each week. We provide sequential, standards-based music instruction that provides singing, movement, learning to read and write music, and playing simple rhythms on classroom instruments. We will also have grade level performances during the year where students have the opportunity to share with their families what they have learned. We are excited to share our love for music with your child as they grow and discover who they are and all that they are capable of.

Art
The elementary art curriculum is built around essential learning objectives for each grade level. In art class, students will learn to use art tools and materials safely and independently. The students will become confident with a variety of art media and techniques. They will learn basic art vocabulary, including the Elements of Art and the Principles of Design. Students will learn to express their own ideas while producing artwork. They will learn to recognize and use all stages of the creative process. The students will learn about the role of art throughout history and across cultures. Most importantly, they will develop confidence and experience joy through creative expression.
Students receive forty-five minutes of art class a week. All of our art projects are saved over the school year and returned in May in an art portfolio that each student creates. Please look forward to enjoying your student’s beautiful artwork.
