Our 2nd and 3rd graders, with Mrs. Steen, created these fun balloon animals inspired by Jeff Koons. They practiced using highlights and shading to make their designs look three-dimensional, and chose complementary colors to really make them stand out.
We love how bright, bold, and full of personality each piece is!

CR Toys Summer Bridge Book orders are due by Friday, April 17th. Be sure to get your orders in so your student can keep learning and growing all summer long!
This morning students learned all about the Artemis II and the splash down of Integrity. Students learned where it will be splashing down, how fast it will be traveling , and through what temperature. We talked about how the four astronauts prepared to make their way back to Earth and what makes this space mission special. Then, teachers competed to see who could land their Integrity(paper airplane) closest to the Pacific Ocean (bowl of water). We hope it was a memory maker kind of morning!
