2nd Grade Shaving Cream

2^nd graders in Mrs. Loftus’s class practiced spelling words using shaving cream. They practiced spelling words like: said, something, blue, and because.  2^nd graders do this activity every year because it helps them practice their spelling in a fun way.   

Holiday Cards

6^th graders have been making holiday cards for troops overseas. The cards will be delivered to the troops as a holiday present. Students thanked them for their service and wished them happy holidays. The troops have the option to write back to students.

Red Ribbon Week

On Monday October 25^th our elementary students were dressed in red to prevent drugs for red ribbon week. Grades k-6^th got to participate in this event. The kids had fun dressing in the same color to show they are drug free as you can see in these pictures. The phrase of this day was “Be Drug Free!” Kids received a red ribbon if they wore red.

Masks

6^th graders worked on plaster masks in art class.  They made a plaster mold of their own faces. Classmates laid 2 layers of plaster gauze on people’s faces. In following art classes students will decorate their masks using other materials. Their masks had to fit one of the following categories: ceremonies/rituals, theater/drama, hunting /war.
