Hello Dear Readers,
Middle school has been incredibly busy these past few weeks! We:
attended a showing of Landfill Harmonic at The Independent Picture House.
dined at Seventh Street Market
designed company board games addressing energy usage and B-Corp status. The games provided a learning opportunity....the companies were real.
listened to Frederick Douglass's speech, "What to a Slave Is the Fourth of July?"
created a timeline of important events and people from 1800 - 1860
watched a Civil War documentary and took notes
garnered awareness of the Dakota Exile that happened alongside the Emancipation Proclamation
presented at the DGS Curriculum Fair
discussed the Gettysburg Address
read a novel (Hound of the Baskervilles or Evolution of Calpurnia Tate)
viewed exhibits at the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art
played at Museum of Illusions
picnicked at the Green
hosted a Coffee Cafe
planned a Kids' Night Out
served pizza
We could probably keep going on this list, but instead, I'll just share a few pictures. It's been a fantastic start to the second semester!
In the paintings below, each student created a story for their chosen piece of artwork. They each picked a painting to sit with during a silent reflection time, and then we shared where our imaginations took us.
