Below is a breakdown of dance, art, library, computer lab, physical education and music programs we have at HOPE this school year. DANCE – a musical rhythm and movement program developed and taught weekly by Pam Laird, a professional dance instructor, who has been with Hope for many fun and exciting years. We have dance on Wednesdays from 12:35 - 1:05. MUSIC – taught weekly by Mrs. Sharon Evans. Mrs. Evans is a wonderful asset to our school, leading the hand bell choir, chorus and recorders. We have music on Thursdays from 12:30 - 1:00. Mrs. Evans has a school website, so please check out her site and the wonderful things she is doing with our students! It is: http://www.hopehawks.com/musicprogram.html ART - one hour lesson every other Monday from 8:10 - 9:10, with Mrs. Miller (Sarah's mom). LIBRARY – children will be learning library skills, participating in a story time and checking books out for independent reading in the classroom each week. Books will be brought home after winter break. Hope’s excellent library program is run by Mrs. Pam Crum. We visit the Library on Wednesdays from 10:30 - 11:00. P.E. – SPARK, a developmental, skill-specific program, "brainjogging" daily on the playground. I would like a structured half hour P.E. lesson each week. IF YOU ARE A PARENT AND ARE INTERESTED IN TEACHING ART ON MONDAY AFTERNOONS FROM 12:35 - 1:05 OR 1:45 - 2:15, LET ME KNOW. COMPUTER LAB - the children visit the computer lab two times a week, utilizing the "Success Enterprise" program. The children spend 12 minutes on Reading instruction and 12 minutes on Math instruction. Mrs. Zamara runs our computer lab and we are very fortunate to have her at Hope. We go to the lab on Wednesdays from 11:05 - 11:35 and Fridays from 11:05 - 11:35. It is because of our dedicated PTA that we are able to fund Dance, Art and Music at Hope School. Please, support our PTA! Without them, our curriculum would not be as enriched as much as it is. THANK YOU PTA! PLEASE SUPPORT HOPE PTA BY JOINING PTA. I WOULD PERSONALLY LIKE 100% PARTICIPATION FROM MY PARENTS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
