In fifth grade, students have completed maps of Mexico and their caracteristicas geograficas (geographical characteristics).

Fourth grade students are working on geographical characteristics of Bolivia and are having a great time creating 3-D maps.

In third grade, students are learning about the Taino people that lived in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico before Christopher Columbus landed in the New World.

In second grade, students took a virtual trip to Costa Rica where they will be collecting stamps for the different places they will visit. The first place is the jungle!

First grade students started their “Familia” book which will tell all about their family. The students will be presenting them to their classmates.

In Ms. Janice Finn’s art class, fifth grade student-artists are using asymmetry and oil pastels to create Cubist Fractured Faces like Pablo Picasso! The bold complimentary colors and strange faces have given the artists a whole new perspective on the definition of art. Our first grade artists are learning about the “Elements of Art” by creating a beaded Elements of Art book. The first grade artists love to sing along to the Elements of Art song as they make an illustrated page for each element. Third grade artists have created a Native American Talking Animal that is filled with Native American picture word stories and beautiful drawings of the natural resources found all around us. Art stretches the imaginations and engages students in learning.

Mrs. Tracy Hopkins’ second grade students learned what it takes to be an author by writing their own autobiographies. Students learned that being an author takes time and requires patience and perseverance. Their autobiography stories turned out amazing! Together, students celebrated their stories with a review party in the second grade pod. Students and teachers read each other’s books, and wrote helpful reviews about something they liked, noticed, thought, and wondered. It was a wonderful, sharing celebration!
