All 5/6 classes ventured over to Macky Auditorium on CU's campus to complete our program with the Boulder Philharmonic. In the fall the Philharmonic's Brass Quintet held a workshop and today we were able to experience the entire orchestra.
Music and architecture have many things in common – rhythm, texture, harmony, proportion, dynamics – and composers and architects throughout the ages have often approached their work in similar ways. Join us for the 2019 Discovery Concert as the Boulder Philharmonic and special guests explore the intersection between sounds and structures, featuring orchestral works by Bach, Britten, Mussorgsky, Ives, and more. The second set of Rotations began last week with students exploring the following offerings: Deep Dive into STEAM (self-directed STEAM projects, Frequent Flyers Aerials, Architectural Design, Fitness Bootcamp, Ukulele, Coding, and Keyboards. Our performance is scheduled for March 7 at 6:30pm in the Gym. In beautiful conditions, fifth and sixth grade students went nordic skiing, alpine skiing, and snowboarding at Eldora Mountain Resort. Each child participated in a two-hour lesson and some stayed with their parents to enjoy an afternoon of skiing and riding. The educational objectives for these field trips are: • To foster appreciation and respect for the natural environment • To promote a sense of community • To provide instruction in winter sports and opportunities for students to develop a life-long interest in outdoor physical education activities • To provide aerobic and fitness conditioning • To develop physical strength, agility, coordination, independence, and self-confidence |
