Thinking, Creating, Reflecting: Impacting the Future

Intermediate Elementary Highlights! Oct. 30 – Nov. 3

Trunk or Treat & Haunted Trail Recap!

Dia de Muertos!

In preparation for Día de Muertos, I built an ofrenda in the classroom and students helped me add more paper marigolds. We talked about the parts of the ofrenda, the meaning behind each item, and the tradition of the day. It was a fun lesson!

Older IE designing shadow experiments for the class!

Different Math Platforms!

We are making progress on our Math platforms: First in Math, Moby Max, and classwork through MHEducation!

Spooky Science: ghost mud and ghost foam, then some vinegar “ghost busting!"

Punny Post Alert!

We had a FANGtastic time partying on Tuesday afternoon. Thank you to our parents and to Upper School for letting us all hang out together! A Happy Halloween indeed!

3D Art Center!

This week in Art classes, we opened the 3D Art Center! Thanks to all of the generous donations of recyclables, we are able to start making a whole new type of art.
Students learned how to connect cardboard without loads of hot glue, and we reviewed how to properly use materials. Everyone got to practice these skills and are ready to start creating tomorrow in art class if they choose!

Yellow Snow?!

In the Fall, our trees “snow” their tiny yellow leaves. On Thursday morning, it was a beautiful sight: the early morning sun, the golden leaf “snow, the chilly air, and of course this group of kiddos.

Launching our Nervous System Unit!

Winter Holiday Program!

Halloween is over. It’s time to start practicing for our Holiday Program. On Thursday, we talked about the program and listened to the music. Most of the students were excited. Students also learned who their characters will be. Look for clues in the picture!
