🎨 5th Grade Art This Week 🎨
This week, our 5th graders dove into a printmaking reduction project inspired by the bold patterns and rich symbolism of Kente cloth fabrics from Ghana. Students learned how patterns, color, and repetition can communicate meaning while carefully carving and printing multiple layers from a single block.
The results show incredible focus, craftsmanship, and creativity—each print is unique, just like the artist who made it!

Mrs. Vasil's 3rd grade class jumped right into math by creating a multiplication/division snowman. They showed off their skills of using the same 3 numbers to write 2 multiplication and 2 division equations. While they are still wishing for snow, making their own paper snowmen was a fun review of multiplication/division.

Ms. Butterfield’s kindergarteners put their engineering skills to the test with a fun, festive challenge! 🎄🧠
Working with a partner, students were tasked with building a “Shelf for the Elf” using only popsicle sticks and Play-Doh. Teams collaborated, problem-solved, tested ideas, and made adjustments along the way—just like real engineers!
This hands-on activity encouraged creativity, teamwork, and critical thinking while spreading a little holiday magic in the classroom. We love seeing our youngest learners building big ideas together! ✨

S. Heaney’s fourth grade class is getting in the holiday spirit! They’ve learned about Christmas, Kwanzaa, and Hanukkah. The class read a story about a boy who teaches his friends about his family’s winter holiday Hanukkah while attending his friend’s Christmas party. The class played a round of Spin the Dreidel as they celebrated different customs and traditions around the world. However you celebrate the season, Happy Holidays!

🧼✍️ Sensory Play Fun in Silver’s Room!
Mrs. Silver's students had a blast diving into sensory play today! They practiced writing in shaving cream—a hands-on way to build fine motor skills and letter formation (and help clean the tables at the same time 😉).
They also got creative making foam dough, squishing and shaping as they explored textures and worked those little hand muscles.
Learning through play is the best kind of learning! 💙🖐️🎉
