Jump Into Fall with a Color Wheel

11-17 -10 The first graders made color wheels out of paper leaves.  Mrs. Patten and Mrs. Miller’s class’s meet with Ms. Wilkinson on Mondays and Mr. Johnson’s class meets on Fridays. They first mixed their colors together, and then traced out six leaves to go on their black, circular, paper. To finish this project, they glued their leaves in the order of the color wheel on their paper. This project is both fun and helps the first graders learn the order and the different colors of the color wheel.

Ocean Floor


6th graders constructed a model of the ocean floor. They had to build various topographical features such as, trenches, atolls, islands, seamounts, and mid-ocean ridge. They molded clay to form these shapes.

On Wednesday December 1st, students in Mrs. Cieslik’s class played instruments and sang, “Wade in the Water,” a traditional American spiritual. Damien Burger, Lauren Frady and Ellie Morrison (pictured above) are playing wood blocks to the beat. Rachel Loerch (right) is playing two bars on the glockenspiel every time the singers sing "wade" in the song.
