• Art

    The art program at Linden Hill is a conceptually based one. Vocabulary words such as pattern, abstract, realistic and overlapping are introduced and reinforced throughout the program. Concepts are practiced and applied through various media, art activities and art history.

    Library

    In the library, we strive to create a warm, inviting and friendly atmosphere so students will find it an interesting place to visit. Children learn about various authors and illustrators and the special awards given in these areas. All styles of literature, both fiction and non-fiction are covered. Children are taught the check out procedure and the proper care of books. When children come to the library they need to be prepared by returning their books on time. Children are held responsible for the books they check out. Payment will be required for a lost book before another book can be checked out.

     

    Music

    Our music program promotes an appreciation of music. Children are exposed to variety of musical concepts as well as various kinds of music. 

    Chorus (grades 4-5)

    Students in grades 4-5 will meet weekly and present two performances each year.

    Strings and Band (grades 4-5)

    The Red Clay School District offers string instruction to students in grades 4-5 and instrumental music instruction (band) to students in grades 4-5. These elective classes are held weekly and require that families provide the instruments.

    Physical Education

    Our Physical Education program is designed to develop and enhance each child’s physical, social and emotional growth through age-appropriate physical activities. Emphasis is placed on five areas:

    • Preparation – children need to wear sneakers that tie or strap snugly onto their feet along with pants and a shirt for gym class.
    • Cooperation – children are expected to listen and follow directions.
    • Team Work – children will work with one another supporting group activities.
    • Sportsmanship – children will follow game rules and will encourage others.
    • Self -Control – children need to be in control of their bodies within the guidelines of the activity.
