Early in April, students in first through fifth grade do forensics presentations.  This teaches them the art of presenting a subject, demonstating something or interpreting a story in front of an audience.  The students work hard on this and it's always a fun competition!

Grades 4K though 4th grade attended Camp-Read-A-Lot during their library class recently.  The students bought blankets, pillows and stuffed animals and made themselves comfortable around the “campfire”.  A tent and twinkling stars (Christmas lights) helped the students imagine they were on a campout. They listened to campfire stories and participated in chants.

Art News

To prepare for the holidays there were clay projects galore in the art room, especially in the lower grades.  First graders made thumb pots with lids and celebrated their completion with a tea party.  Second graders made hot chocolate mugs; third graders made ornaments, and fourth graders made Christmas trees.  Seventh graders worked very hard on a carving project using blocks of sandstone.  They watched their ideas come and go as the nature of the material came into play.  The results were very pleasing.  They then  researched and gave presentations on this sculpture technique.

0 Comments

 
Students in Grades 1-4 learned about the virtue for the month of December--Kindness.  After watching a video on kindness and discussing ways to show this virtue, students made kindness flowers for a buddy in a different grade.  On the flower's petals, students wrote things that they liked about their buddy.  Then, at the end of the day, students exchanged their flowers.
