Human Sculptures

The 5th graders in Mrs. Humpal's art class have been studying sculptures and are using plastic wrap to create their own pieces of art. Working together, they wrap the plastic wrap around their bodies and then carefully remove, to reveal a figure of their hand, leg, or even head! You can see the pieces of art displayed on the shelves in the hallway across from the gym.

Learning is Fun!

I found many exciting things happening in classrooms as I walked through the building last week! Second graders were busy learning about two-digit subtraction in Mrs. Prime's room and playing a game of subtraction "Quizmo" in Mrs. Sommars's room. If you have a 1st-3rd grader, practicing basic addition and subtraction facts at home is a great way to reinforce math skills taught here at school.

The fourth graders in Mrs. Baumgart's room have been practicing a Reader's Theater and got to perform for the friends in Ms. Turner's room. Groups read tall tales about Pecos Bill, John Henry, Paul Bunyon, and others. They did a fantastic job reading with expression!
