Lower Elementary

We had a fantastic week working together with many lessons continuing in all areas of our curriculum. We created our own personal flags after learning the 9 parts of the flag.

Check out our busy work week!

Personal Flags Designed With Our Own Personality Characteristics

We will be going to Davidson College next week for a walking field trip to view sculptures and other pieces in the Davidson College Collections. We will continue our study of sculpture and design/build our own sculptures next week. We "Painted With Scissors" using the style of Henri Matisse and also learned interesting facts about his life during art history lessons.

We created art with paper cuttings in the style of Henri Matisse.
