Ms. Maize's 5th graders completed an attachment challenge for the opening of Sculpture Studio with Mrs. Dombeck! This included creating a sculpture in table teams based on a prompt, using other methods of attachment besides glue & 4 pieces of tape!! They did a marvelous job!
First grade students cast their votes on Election Day! They filled out voter ID cards, went to the first grade voting booth, & marked their favorite holiday. After they got "I Voted" stickers, the votes from each classroom were tallied, & Christmas was the winner! It was a fun way to teach students about a right they will have in the future! 🗳️ 🗳️🗳️ #tongienation #usd464
Mrs. Lawson's art classes have been doing their attachment challenge, a precursor to opening up the Sculpture Studio for 3rd, 4th & 5th grade. Students were not allowed to use glue or staples; they had to rely on 2 pieces of tape & other forms of attachment. This was a timed challenge & they were given a prompt to base their sculpture off of. This is third grade's first time doing this challenge. Pictured are students from Mrs. Albrecht's class.
