PE Update - Mrs. Skogstad and Mrs. Marsh
Week 2 from Mrs. Skogstad
Hello Endeavour Families: We miss seeing everyone in the Gym. We hope you were able to use last week’s resources to keep moving, even when the weather is not nice out. This weekly update includes the last week for MARCH fitness calendar & the new APRIL fitness calendar. We also included a few fun quick exercises & skills for you to try. Mrs. Skogstad also has a goal challenge for grades 3-5. You can find all links/resources to keep staying active on our connect websites.

While staying safe and using social distancing take a walk around the block this week each day to get some fresh air. Stay safe, Stay Healthy and Stay ACTIVE!
Music Update - Mrs. Murphy and Ms. Caulton
Week 2 Music with Mrs. Murphy
Hey everyone! I’ve missed seeing your faces in class, but luckily this week we will continue to learn together virtually. I have more fun enrichment activities for us to discover together this week! We are going to explore the music of Latin America and focus specifically on one of the instruments called the guiro. I have even included instructions for how to create your own guiro at home using materials you might have just laying around your house.
Click on Mrs. Murphy’s Website, find your grade level, and scroll down to find this week’s activities!
Don’t forget, if you finish this week’s activities and want to keep exploring music, you can find many more enrichment activities for all grades on my website, or you can login to Quaver through Clever to access the Student Portal!
If you want to send me pictures or videos of you interacting with this week’s lesson materials, please email me!
Week 2 Music with Ms. Caulton
Every Monday you’ll find a new Quaver “assignment” for your student to launch and enjoy.
Viewing is optional. Students will recognize some favorite tunes and activities!
- Log onto your student’s Clever account
- Click on the Quaver icon
- Navigate to the Dashboard
- Click on the Assignment icon
- Select “Endeavour_Gr2_week2” OR “Endeavour_Gr4_week2” depending on student grade level.

Slides include a video greeting from myself (and Winston, my fluffy friend). Students can also record a video and send directly to my dashboard from the final slide. This method would be a great way for 4th grade recorder performers to play songs for me. A song, a drawing, or simply hello: Whatever students want to share would be wonderful!
Check out your student’s grade level tab for additional suggested activities, including a challenge to beat my scores on Quaver interactives.
