Native American Art 2016

This week students learned all about Native American Indian art through creating their own projects based on the Native styles. They designed everything from bowls, medicine man pouches, and petroglyph writings to ceremonial vests, crayon-resist symbols, and jute basket-weavings.

Conservation 2016

This week, students in grades 1-5 are working on "Backyard Adventures," this year's theme for the annual Conservation Poster contest. 

Multiple Perspectives

This week students participated in a new activity I learned about this summer at the Murray State University Discovery Education workshop. It is called "Multiple Perspectives."

Students are given directions based upon the "Multiple Perspectives" criteria.

 Each table team of students are given a picture of some kind. (In this case, it was a photograph of a landscape, an outdoor scene.)

Students then choose a person or object from the picture and write a narrative based on that 'character.' 

When they are finished writing, students share their stories with their teammates.
