Spring Individual & Class Pictures
The second marking period of the school year ended on January 23rd, and we are off and
running in the second half of the school year! Classroom teachers are continuing to work hard
planning engaging and meaningful lessons. Students are continuing to work hard mastering
skills and content as well as taking ownership for their learning.
This year’s state assessments are scheduled in March and May for all students in grades three,
four, and five. Our goal is to have the students feeling confident and comfortable as they
complete the PARCC. The most effective way to reach this goal is to ensure that the students
are well prepared to show all that they have learned. The following link provides a variety of
resources about the PARCC Assessment www.parcconline.org.
The mid-point of the school year is a good time to review your child’s progress in school and
to set goals for the second semester. Second quarter report cards were sent home on
February 5th. Parents are encouraged to carefully review their child’s progress and use their
grades as a guide for developing specific goals. Select one area, either content-related or
self-development related, for improvement. Help your child identify the grade that he or she
would like to earn and determine one or two key actions needed to achieve the goal. Write
the goal on paper and display it somewhere at home. Revisit the goal and actions on a regular
basis (at least once a week) to monitor your child’s progress toward reaching this goal.
Celebrate each improvement! Gently discuss each decline, focusing on what he or she could
do better next time. Your child’s confidence will increase as he or she progresses toward the
goal.
Congratulations to Dumbarton Middle School on their selection as a BCPS Lighthouse Middle
School for the 2015-2016 school year! Ms. Harris, Dumbarton’s Principal, personally shared
the news with West Towson’s fifth graders on January 29th. These students will be the
members of next year’s sixth grade, the grade which will receive the one-to–one devices.
The students were thrilled!
SPECIAL AREA UPDATES
ART NEWS FROM MRS. TALMAN
Mrs. Whelehan has worked hard to build such a strong art program here at West
Towson and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be the long-term substitute art teacher this
spring! I have taught art for 7 years full time and am also a parent of 2 students here at
West Towson. The students and staff have been very welcoming and it has been a great
transition.
The classes are already off to a great start.
Kindergarten has been looking at the work of Edgar Degas and have been making successful
figure drawings.
First grade began with a winter collage and are now studying line qualities in Maurice Sendakinspired “Wild Thing” drawings.
Second graders are learning about German Expressionism and how to use color to show
show emotion in Franz Marc-inspired animal paintings.
Third graders are dreaming of futuristic inventions after looking at Leonardo DaVinci’s
notebooks.
Fourth grade students are understanding positive and negative space by creating paper cut
outs. Fifth graders are painting watercolor abstract paintings based on cellular organelles.
DANCING DAYS WITH MRS. KUEBLER
Take A Leap! February is the second annual Baltimore County Dance
Celebration. Check out all of the FREE dance events around the county
at the following link:
http://www.jcc.org/gordon-center/baltimore-county-s-dancecelebration.
K-2 will explore a Twist on Twister and learn about this 1960s dance craze that is
still popular today. Since February is also heart healthy month, ask your child about our
Circulation Dance.
3rd grade is in the midst of exploring the elements of dance. Then, these elements will
combine into one final assessment piece. While observing these dances, students will use a
variety of peer assessment tools to discover how one approaches choreography from a variety
of viewpoints.
4th grade will discuss and do a variety of line dances in order to recognize how they continue
to impact popular dances today.
5th graders enjoyed a week of Ballroom Dance and throughout the rest of February, along with
the 2nd graders, will delve into the Model Cornerstone Assessment Project. West Towson is a
pilot school for this initiative of the National Coalition of Core Arts Standards.
MUSICAL MOMENTS FROM MR. MELEFSKY
Fifth grade has just finished the unit on dotted and tied rhythms. We used popsicle sticks
and strings to create our own short compositions. Most classes have been discussing and
performing syncopated rhythms. After applying rhythms to the dances we learned in
ballroom dancing this week, students returned to music to begin the study of syncopated
rhythms and ostinatos. It was great seeing so many of you at the ballroom dance event!
There is a clear link between rhythm/beat counting and dancing. If your child teaches you
any dance moves, asking them to count the steps for you will improve both their dancing
ability and musicianship skills.
Fourth grade has been learning all about sixteenth and eighth notes. We have been using
“pizza notes” to discuss note values. The more slices, the shorter the notes. A typical pizza
has eight slices. Each one represents an eighth note. A whole pizza equals
four beats! The next time you order Italian, ask your child to explain pizza
notes!
Third grade has received their recorders! We discussed the importance of
recorder techniques and basic fingerings. Students should be careful not to
blow loudly when playing. With practice and a few reminders, recorders can be played
at an appropriate volume at home. Sometimes students will leave a recorder at home. To
avoid forgetting instruments, please remind your child to place their recorder in their
case/backpack when they are not playing it. This instrument can be challenging at first, but
with some patience and persistence, third graders can have an amazing musical experience.
Please encourage your child to practice their techniques and songs. Next week we will begin a
special version of “Hot Cross Buns!”
Second grade has begun practicing some of our music for our spring concert. The date is set
for April 28th at 7:00 PM. There will be important information sent home with students later
this month with directions to access the chorus practice video. See you at the concert!
First grade and kindergarten have been performing rhythms on different instruments from
the percussion family. Students can play steady beats or rhythms and classify instruments as
shakers, drums, metals, or wood percussion. If you have a percussion instrument at home, ask
your child in which class it belongs. what kind it belongs to. I’m sure they would be happy to
share.
Kindergarten has been distinguishing long and short sounds by applying movements to music.
Recently we used the song to “Jack be Nimble” with three different loco-motor movements
and discovered that galloping (one long sound and one short sound) best matches the rhythm.
We will soon begin a unit on bucket drumming this month. Recyclable instruments are a lot of
fun and a great way to be earth-friendly. If you have an unused bucket at home you can play
along and practice with your child. There are some great bucket drumming videos online.
Check them out when you can!
¡SALUDOS DESDE LA CLASE DE ESPAÑOL!
Spanish class has become so exciting here at WTES. The students are constantly improving
their Spanish acquisition and communication skills through a variety of activities like Señorita
Dice (Simon Says), Memoria (Memory), Toca Azul (Touch Blue) competiciones (competitions),
conversaciones (conversations), and canciones (songs). Also, they have been practicing and
memorizing the school’s code of conduct in Spanish. Most recently, the students have begun
to learn about the Spanish-speaking countries of the world. Did you know that there are 20
countries in the world that have Spanish as their official language? Throughout the rest of the
school year, the students will have the opportunity to learn more about these countries and
their cultures. Be sure to ask the fourth grade students what they have learned in Spanish
class! If you speak Spanish, give them the opportunity to practice their skills!
¡Muchas gracias!
Señorita Reier
Here are some emotions in Spanish that you can use at home:
¿Cómo te
sientes?
Me siento
triste.
Me siento
content.
Me siento
enojado.

FEBRUARY IS AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION MONTH… BE HEART SMART
We’ll see lots of hearts this Valentine’s Day – what better time to make sure we are taking
care of our children’s hearts! Studies show that signs of heart disease begin developing in
childhood. Children with high cholesterol levels are likely to become adults with high levels.
In recent years, there has been an increase in pediatric obesity and hypertension (high
blood pressure). These factors are known to be linked to heart disease. It is important
to establish healthy lifestyles early to keep the risk of heart disease low. Following a
low saturated fat and low cholesterol diet and staying physically active are great
habits to keep your heart healthy and in peak working order. Exercise can be fun and
educational. This February, as you celebrate love with your families, remember to be
heart smart! West Towson Elementary and all Baltimore County Public Schools will
participate in the Wear Your Heart Healthy Red Day on February 19. All students and
staff members are encouraged to wear red on this day.
