7th: Greek Fest

What better way to sum up our unit on Greek Myths than a Greek Fest!  We enjoyed sampling Greek food (Thanks Parents!!)and watching our Greek commercials, while dressed in Greek attire, of course:)

7th grade: Greek Afterlife

7th graders had fun transforming the classroom into the Greek afterlife:)  

Participating with fate cards also added to the learning fun!

6th grade: ATOMIC BOMB! group brain teaser

Can these 6th graders work together to defuse the bomb before our entire school is ruined?!?!?

They do a great job listening to each others ideas and making decisions as to which is the best way to go about this group brainteaser.

6th grade: Hokusai Watercolor

6th graders learned about a Japanese artist named Hokusai who painted watercolor landscapes.  After learning a few watercolor techniques we attempted to create our own watercolor landscapes.

6th grade: Tessallation Art

Tessellations, also know as Mathematical art, was a unique challenge for 6th grade artists. No gaps, no overlaps, and must fit like a puzzle piece. It's harder than you think!!

 These students show off their excellent work:)

7th graders: CUPS UP CHALLENGE

These 7th graders work together to solve the brain challenge, Cups Up.  Can they come up with all 6 solutions in the time allotted?  These students pictured did :)

The NEW 2015 school year is almost here!!!

Gifted classes will start on August 31 on the Valley side.  I will come around soon and give out supply lists, schedules, and any thing else you may need.

Looking forward to seeing you!!   :)
