Science: It's Not Just Dirt!
The 3rd grade students started this year in science by studying soil. They looked at sand, clay, and humus and determined the characteristics of each one and how they are formed in nature.
You can see that these scientists have been hard at work!
They made columns of soil to determine which soil water will run through the fastest.
They examined rotting logs to see the living things which were breaking it down to form humus.
You can see that these scientists have been hard at work!

Art: We are all artists!
Every student started the year by making a small 3x3 inch self-portrait. There are quite a few inherent challenges using small paper and black pen that helps the girls get comfortable right way with the art quip: "Turn your ut-oh into an ah-ha." The girls were encouraged to make a clear choice in their work; to be bold. The works are on display at the entrance of the art studio with the following questions to guide their observations: Which portraits show that the artist used line variation? Which portraits show that the artist made a discovery about herself, her art, or her materials? Which portraits show that the artist tried the blind contour technique to record her observations without looking? Which portraits show that the artist made a clear choice about line, shape texture, value, or space) in her work? In art this year we will make art, look at art and talk about art! We are all artists!
Here We Go!
Mrs. Mills' and Mrs. Rogers' class gathered for their first picture. They are off to a great start and are looking forward to exciting events in the coming months. They are also ready to look into the past. Ask your daughters to tell you about the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius!
