Ms. Dawkins' 3rd Graders went on a field trip to Nichols Art Glass this week! Students were shown how Mr. Nichols makes his artwork and learned the importance of persistence when trying new techniques. We had a great time watching him demonstrate how to make a flower and an antler (Mrs. Fain was even able to help him add some small pieces of glass to the bottom of the antler).
The Class of 2026 celebrated their last day of school with breakfast in the parking lot before school started today. They're looking forward to a great senior year!
Parents, this is just a reminder that today is early release for students at 1 pm. Have a wonderful summer!
Mrs. Mead's 5th grade class is rounding out the year by finishing their Renaissance unit and writing biographies about famous artists. They experienced drawing like Michelangelo on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, under their desks. Also, students have been reviewing the end of their geometry unit and love working in teams during a room walk activity. This group is ready for middle school!
A huge thank you to Andy Nichols at Nichols Art Glass for inviting 2nd grade to watch the process of blowing glass on Friday. His artwork is fascinating and it was so fun to watch the process of glass blowing ornaments and he even made a leaf and flower in front of them! They followed it up with a trip to Sorosis Park for lunch!
