Third graders are creating artwork after the manner of the artist Louise Nevelson. They are in need of small objects that would normally be thrown away (small cans, lids, etc.). They are also creating a community weaving and we need old white or light colored sheets that can be cut and dyed for our weaving. If you are able and willing to donate please drop your donations in the blue bin just inside the art room door. Thanks!

Mrs White, our awesome librarian, dressed as Waldo today to teach students how to find things in a library. She talked about the “Where’s Waldo” books with students and then they were put into teams to find Waldos hidden throughout the library.

Habitat landscapes by 2nd Grade artists. Students mixed all of their own colors for these landscapes using the primary colors. They also learned how to use a horizon line and how to create depth by drawing things closer to them bigger and things further away smaller.

In 5th grade Science, we are learning what plants eat. And we discovered they eat air! We then did an investigation to find out if air has weight. If you have a 5th grader, ask them what we did and what they discovered.
