Special Classes
Each day, Clovercroft students attend Special Classes for 45 minutes where they are challenged by highly qualified teachers in that specialty subject. These classes include music, art, physical education, health, Life Skills, computer lab, and library. Students have two PE classes per week along with music and art. They go to the other classes on a bi-weekly basis. Each of these classes have their own curriculum and state standards that they focus on throughout the school year. Please review the information about our special classes.

Art
Elementary art classes curriculum will focus on the elements and principals of art, famous artists, cultural art forms, history and careers in the arts. While studying key concepts and learning about new art forms, students will discover connections between different subject areas such as math and language arts consequently reinforcing material learned in the regular classroom. Students in all grades will have one art lesson each week. Students in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade will be provided with an artist sketchbook for notes, sketches, project planning and some assessments. In the spring there will be several art shows and festivals where selected student artworks will be displayed. Current student artwork will be on display around the school throughout the year.

Computer
In computer lab the students will learn keyboarding, word processing, internet safety, Google Classroom and various other computer skills that are grade level appropriate. It is my goal for students to be able to use the computer lab to enhance and support their learning of subjects being taught in the classroom. This will include research projects as well as using programs that Williamson County School District has to offer.

Library
The Clovercroft library will provide access to materials and resources to support the instructional curriculum as well as encourage a lifelong love of reading. Each class has a scheduled library time to receive library instruction and check out books. Individual students may come to check out books throughout the school day with teacher permission. Kindergarten students may check out one book at a time, first grade students may check out two books, and second through fifth grade students may check out up to three books at a time.

Music
Students at Clovercroft come to music once a week for 45 minutes. In elementary general music, our motto is sing, dance, and play. Our students learn through active musical experiences while singing, moving, and playing instruments. The music room contains many percussion instruments such as drums, xylophones, and a variety of smaller unpitched instruments. Fourth and fifth graders also incorporate recorder into their curriculum. Each grade level participates in one program a year. These programs are generally in the evening and open to the community. A list of programs will be released soon.

Physical Education
Students will participate in Physical Education two days per week. Our goals for the year will be to see improvement and development in all of our units covered, including fitness, sports skills, cooperation/ social skills, and nutrition. During our fitness unit, we will lead activities with goals of improving our muscular strength, muscular endurance, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. During our units covering sports skills units, we will target improving skills associated with basketball, baseball, soccer, hockey, volleyball, golf, gymnastics, rhythm, rock climbing, etc. Cooperation and social skills units will work to improve skills, such as sportsmanship, taking turns, and getting along with all other students. During nutrition, students will learn which foods are part of a healthy, well-balanced diet and the benefits of eating healthy. As a part of physical education class, students are expected to wear tennis shoes every day, in order to participate, as well as providing a note from a parent or doctor for the days they need to miss, including a date that they can return to activity. We look forward to having a great year! Go Colts!
