Art, music, gym, tech and books
Specials are the classes that round out the school day: art, music, PE, technology and library. In art, kids mix colors and build with shapes. In music, they feel the beat and meet the instrument families. PE builds strength, coordination and teamwork, technology teaches computer skills like typing and making a slideshow, and library time builds a love of books and research skills. Specials help the whole child grow. The click moment is when a quiet student lights up in art or gym and finds their thing.
You don't have to be the art or music teacher to sneak specials into your week. These moves fit right into a regular classroom.
