Cross Country

Congratulations to Finn Shea, Abagale Hay and Myrtle Yates for making it to the Middle School State Cross Country tournament.  They will compete this Saturday.

Art

Our Intermediate School Creative Art class went on a field trip to the Frist Center for Visual Arts, to see the Ancestral Modern:Australian Aboriginal Art Exhibit. To get ready for the exhibit, we researched Aboriginal art and created a “dot” painting. The exhibit contained many different paintings on canvas, bark paintings, a woven grass sculpture and a short viewing about different influential Aboriginal artist. After touring the exhibit, the students got to participate in Art Quest, a hands-on exhibit where kids and adults get to experiment with a variety of art processes and techniques.

Robotics Club

In Robotics Club, we have progressed from building mission stations with Lego pieces to programming our robots to complete missions. We use engineering techniques to build our robots, and coding to program the robots. In the process, we learn to work with one another, using one another’s strengths to achieve success.

2^nd Grade

Mrs. Phillips’ class has a first year CA student from Denmark. We wrote Pen Pal letters to her classmates back in Denmark. The teacher in Denmark will be able to translate the letters to the students. We are hoping we will receive letters back from her classmates!

 

 

Art

There is a Landscape exhibit up in the main building, on the walls leading to the library. We have some desert landscapes created by second graders, ‘stamped’ landscapes by the fourth graders and Asian landscapes by the fifth graders. Come see all the wonderful projects being created!

Science

First graders concluded their unit on Plants are Living Things.  We reviewed stems and leaves.  We reviewed our science vocabulary: observe, classify, infer, predict, investigate, graph and record.  We classified seeds in multiple ways- size, color, and shape.

 

Second graders investigate how far things move.  We discussed Force and Motion.  We determined what slows motion down-Friction. We incorporated STEM elements and measured relative distances, engineering our test runs to compare shapes of objects.  We recorded our data to infer distances of comparable objects.

 

 

Third graders reviewed plant life and when it begins.  We dissected Lima bean seeds to observe germination and seed embryos.  We identified seed coats, roots, and leaves.  We reviewed life cycles of plants and noted difference between stages.

 

Spanish

In Spanish Enrichment, 1^st grade students worked on learning their numbers in Spanish.  When a number was called they formed it out of play-doh.

 

FUSE

4th grade FUSE students created 3D cell models for Science class. Students demonstrated their understanding of plant and animal cell parts, as well as their creativity with their finished projects!

 

3^rd grade

Third graders demonstrated their knowledge of plants by creating and presenting plant (parts of a plant) diagrams.  Students also worked in teams to make flowering and conifer plant life cycle displays.

 

In Science, 5th grade FUSE students were treated to a visit by Austin Peay professor, Dr. Chad Brooks. Dr. Brooks spoke to 5th graders about the types of cells and how they work. Students enjoyed the hands-on demonstrations he brought with him as well!

 

2^nd Grade

On Thursday, September 28th, the second graders had a very special visit from author/illustrator, Christie Ray. She introduced the students to her most famous character, Eliza, and she also brought along some new characters that are featured in her new books. She shared how she writes and illustrates each story. What an inspiring visit!
