Mrs. Mueller's Class
P.E.
Computer Lab and Library
Students will explore many educational sites with our computer teacher, Mrs. Joan Hays. They will learn to log in to the computer and navigate the computer website at South Newton. The computer lab page can be found at our school website.
Mrs. Wilson, our librarian, will help students learn to browse the library to check out reading material in both the fiction and non-fiction sections of our library.
The students will practice gross motor skills and how to play games together with good sportsmanship in PE with Mr. Sloan. Students are asked to bring a pair of tennis shoes that are clean and have non marking soles. We do have gently used PE shoes at school.
Often first graders will outgrow their gym shoes before the end of the year. We will check periodically and alert you if your child needs bigger gym shoes
Our new music teacher is Mr. Davies. He has joined our staff this year after graduating from St. Joseph's college in Rensselaer.
Students will receive music and PE on the same day for 30 minutes each and on even days of our 8 day rotation (Day 2, 4, 6, and 8).

Our Specials
This year our specials will be on a rotation basis. If we miss a day of school we will not miss the special for that day, we will do it when we come back. Our rotation is: Days 1 and 5: Technology and Library, Days 2, 4, 6 and 8, P. E. and Music and Days 3 and 7 Art.
Mrs. Lackner is our art teacher. Students will work with many different types of media including crayon, chalk, paint and clay. She always welcomes empty egg cartons for paint pallettes. She asks that each child bring an old oversized paintshirt to school to protect their clothing on art days. Students have art for a 60 minute period on days 3and 7 of our 8 day rotation.
