Book Soundtracks

Beginning, Middle, and End

Students read the fable The Tortoise and The Hare. Then, we discussed how every story has a beginning, middle, and end. The kindergarteners were each assigned one part of the story to illustrate.

Who will be Bear's new friend?

      

Kindergarteners read the beginning of Bear's New Friend by Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman. Then, they used a computer program called ArtPad to type and draw the animal they thought would appear at the end of the story. Students shared their predictions on the smart board for the rest of the class to see. You will have to read the book to find out what animal it is. J

Fashion Club Final Projects- Paper dresses inspired by flight

" For my dress I was inspired by the cross-section of the USS Akron 1931 airship. I was desperate to find an idea in the last five minutes of one class. I looked in one book and found this photo of the inside of the airplane. I thought it would make an adorable pattern so I photo copied the image and transferred it onto my dress. I embroidered around one of the cross-section patterns and laced the back." Samantha





" I was inspired by the way smoke travels through the air. We used dye and water to get the gradient effect"- Pamela







"I chose bubbles for my inspiration because I love dots so much. I thought about flying dots and realized that bubbles are basically flying dots." - Katie
