PICTURES WIND INSTRUMENT EXPOSURE - DISCOVERY 4TH GRADE This is the time of year when Mr. Kelly makes the rounds of 4th-grade classrooms to recruit the next generation of band participants. Photos were taken of him in Discovery’s 4th grade classroom as students tested out wind instrument mouthpieces. Each student was given a sanitized kit with a mouth piece that makes sound using a vibrating reed (used in saxophones, and oboes) and another mouthpiece where the student has to blow air through a special hole in a tube (flute, piccolo). The goal was to help them choose the type of instrument they might want to play in the next school year. Link to 27 Pictures. Link to 1-minute video. OUTDOOR RECESS The weather was amazing on Tuesday. Those who headed outside for some exercise felt a lot of joy. Link to 27 Pictures. |

BOOKS TO EXPLORE IN OUR SCHOOL LIBRARY  Neurodiversity Book Highlights What is neurodiversity? “Neurodiversity describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one "right" way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits.” (Baumer, 2021) Each of the carefully selected titles in this month’s library highlights focus on characters who have neurological variances and differences such as autism, dyslexia, and ADHD. And did you know April is Autism Acceptance Month? Use these titles to explore themes around neurodiversity with students and to cultivate meaningful classroom discussions. This collection can be found linked through our library webpage and please reach out to Mrs. Levine at alevine@maplerun.org if you have any questions on how to access these titles!  A student's positive journey through a learning difference that offers an encouraging example of triumph over difficulty. A must-have ADHD book for kids of all ages. David gets scolded a lot by his teacher, Mrs. Gorski, for not paying attention in class. He wants to pay attention but it is just so hard when an exciting idea pops into his head. And he usually can't tell that he's making a mistake until after he makes them. But after a particularly big mistake, David comes up with his own plan to tone down his wiggle fidgets.  This is the story of Zane, a zebra with autism, who worries that his differences make him stand out from his peers. With careful guidance from his mother, Zane learns that autism is only one of many qualities that make him special.  Someone has been stealing food from Snowball, the classroom pet bunny! Can Izzy use her superpowers to track down the culprit and save the day? The Classroom Mystery explores the topic of ADHD with an empowering story and adorable illustrations. |
