This week we are beginning our unit on Early America, the Colonial Period. We began our unit with drama, reading plays from this time period of our nation's history. Here, students are responding to the plays we read by pretending to be props managers and designing stage props for each play. 
In 6th grade we study Latin America. Here, a student is completing an organic shape "Bark" Painting...a traditional style of painting done in Latin American countries.
This week, 3rd grade enjoyed creating "medicine man" sand art for our Native American unit. It was especially interesting for them to choose their Native symbol.
This week, 6th graders enjoyed playing various rhythms to West African music, using instruments native to the West African people.
