team: OUR SCHOOL BAND!

learn to appreciate the
artistry and beauty of
making music!
Librarywith Mrs. Sherry Thomas
• Students will be introduced to the Hutchinson library, library citizenship skills and the role of the librarian.
• Students will be exposed to a wide variety of literature and authors. Students will explore, define and develop their own reading interests and abilities.
• Students will become adept at using the library and its resources for independent research and discovery.
LibraryBook Selection
• Kindergarten students may select 1 book from the Kindergarten cart.
• Grades 1 and 2 may select up to 2 books.
• Grades 3, 4, and 5 may select up to 3 books and 1 magazine.
• Students should return their materials on their designated day. If a class is missed, they should keep the books until the next class.
• If a book is lost or damaged the school must be reimbursed.
We follow the SPARK curriculum at Hutchinson Elementary for physical
Education. SPARK is an acronym for Sport, Play, and Active, Recreation for Kids. The
focus is really on physical activity and movement by using lead up games and
drills. Please be sure to have your child bring tennis shoes on gym day. Flip Flops and Sandals are unacceptable. They are an injury risk.
I use a card system for discipline. A green card means that the child did outstanding, a yellow card is a time out for not using ROARS behavior, and a red card means they
must sit out the class.

Visual Arts Class
with Ms. Cheryl Carnicelli
In art class, students have the opportunity to think creatively, solve problems, visually communicate and critically observe and interpret the world around them. I hope to instill an appreciation for the richness, beauty and meaning that the arts bring to our lives.
I emphasize careful use and cleanliness with all art media. However, in their joyful and meaningful creative activities, students sometimes soil their clothing. With this in mind, please dress your child appropriately or send an apron or art shirt with your child on art days. I’m looking forward to a fabulous year teaching your children!
