Lower Campus celebrated Dot Day last Friday! Inspired by the book, The Dot. It was a day filled with exploration of creativity, self-expression, and the connections they shared through stories! 🎨 @TheMVSchool #mvstudio

Force and motion in Performing Arts. Deepening our knowledge of push and pull through stretching! #mvlower #mvlearns #mvarts

[Shay Jones @Shay_LJones]

Breathing is our superpower! We saw our breathing in action with our breathing buddies! #mvlittles #mvlearns #mvarts

[Shay Jones @Shay_LJones]

One of our favorite games to reinforce our knowledge of beat and tempo. Pass the beat! #mvlower #mvarts

[Shay Jones @Shay_LJones]

Arts integration! Students used yarn to make sound waves. They took their knowledge of sound waves in science and combined with their knowledge of pitch and dynamics. #mvlearns #mvlower #mvarts

Music provocation. What moves you? #mvlearns #mvlittles

Strong warrior poses! While continuing to talk about being kind to others, ourselves, and things around us...we had a peaceful yoga session outside! #mvlower #mvarts

[Shay Jones @Shay_LJones]

The power of breathing. During this exercise children used control, focus, and breathing techniques to move a tennis ball across their yoga mat. Mindfulness matters! #mvlower #mvarts #mvps

National Kindness Day. While continuing our conversation about mindfulness we took a moment to share a compliment with a neighbor. “I like how you treat people and you’re a good person.” You’re never too young to learn empathy and kindness. 💚#mvlower #mvarts #mvps

[Shay Jones @Shay_LJones]

Let’s move! Movement is important for balance, self-awareness, motion, endurance, coordination, and strength. Students went through a movement course to enhance their gross motor skills and enhance spatial awareness.#mvlower #mvarts

[Shay Jones @Shay_LJones]

Sometimes you just need to dance! Dance helps us express ourselves in ways sometimes our voices can’t convey! #mvlower #mvarts

[Shay Jones @Shay_LJones]

In performing arts we collaborate, solution seek and use our voices to connect with one another. While playing “find your family” children were to use only their voices in order to find others that belonged to the same animal family. #mvlower#mvarts

“Look, I wrote a song!” After learning about musical notes and beats these creative artists were able to express their knowledge in various ways. #mvlower #mvarts
