Step 5 :  When you put the sauce on, spread it out lightly. Don’t push too hard because you could rip the dough.. Don’t put the sauce all the way out on the edge.

Step 6 :  Now you can put the cheese on. I would sprinkle it on lightly at first and if you want more you can put more on.

Tutorials...

The fifth grade class has been busy writing tutorials about one of their passions as part of an explanatory writing project.  We started by examining other tutorials to decide what made one better than another, what aspects were attractive to us, which ones seemed clear or confusing.  Afterwards, we spent time in class, and at home, taking pictures that would enhance our directions. Finally, we put all the pieces together and created our very own tutorials.  We hope you enjoy reading them as much as we enjoyed putting them together!

Fur Elise on the Piano

Hello!  Today i am going to teach you how to play a little bit of Fur Elise by Beethoven on the piano.
To start of you should know the names of the keys of the piano.  (Sharps and Flats included.)
You should also know how your fingers are labeled in piano.  So if i say play an E with your 5th finger in your right hand you would know that it is your right pinky.  A bench is better, but if you don’t have one you can use a chair.   Here we go!!!


Step #1  Lay your hands on the keys with the tips of your fingers slightly curved.


Step  #2  Put your pinky on E an octave above C with your right hand.


Step  #3  Play with your right hand still on E, E,D#,E,D#,E,B,D,C,A. (5,4,5,4,5,3,4,2,1)


Ste   #4  Put your left hand on A with your 5th finger.  Keep the A in your right hand ringing, and then play in the left hand, A,E,A.  (5,2,1)


Step  #5  Then move your right hand down to middle C.  Play C,E,A,B (1,2,4,5)


Step #6  Keep the B in the right hand ringing, and in the left hand play E, E(up an octave), G#.  (5,1,2)



Step #7 Move your right hand down to E and play E,G#,A,B.  (1,3,4,5.)


Step   #8 Play in your left hand again, A,E,A.  (5,2,1.)


Step  #9  Now repeat steps 3-6.


Step #10  Instead of playing steps 7-8, play in the right hand, E, (highC)B,A.

Step #11  On the ring of the A in the right hand, with your left hand play A and E.  In your right hand at the same time play A and C.
