The 5th graders finished their personality profile artwork with a bang! The final quadrant of their art pieces was inspired by Jackson Pollock's action art. After practicing close reading on an article about Judging versus Perceiving personalities, we covered fancy clothes with trash bags, hauled our materials to the garden, and got to splattering.
Afterwards, the students mounted their artwork and surrounded their profiles with words that represent their personality. We finished the day with the students completing one of two personality poems. Both the poetry and the art work will be added to the Book Creator portfolios during our next class.
... due to the Facilitators providing GATE screenings at high needs Title One schools across the district. This is important work to help identify gifted children from underserved populations that might otherwise go unnoticed and not have their exceptional needs met. Thank you for understanding!
As we begin our school year and face new challenges, we are seeking new ways to enrich your child's education both in person and virtually. Our current wish list includes a set of classroom cameras (~$100 ea), our own set of 6 classroom Tello drones ($150 ea) that we don't have to share, Rubiks Cubes ($12), and a hand-held vacuum cleaner! The 6th graders will also be going on THREE field trips this semester, and we will need one of the bus trips (~$100) covered by Foundation donations.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THOSE WHO ALREADY DONATED!
IT WILL BE PUT TO GOOD USE RIGHT AWAY!
(I'll start posting as soon as I have confirmed which students from each school are on the No Photo List. Thanks for your patience!)
