5th-grade students designed and built ceramic slab containers in art class with Teacher Teal, applying many math skills learned in their home base classroom.
They measured geometric shapes with a ruler and organic shapes with a string and ruler. Since they were given size restrictions, they also had to use their division and fraction skills. Each student made a unique design, for instance, a triangular form becoming a slice of pie with the lid handle resembling a dollop of whipped cream or a rectangular form becoming a deck of cards or a cell phone.
Lower school faculty, staff, and students celebrated the 5th grade class as they made one final walk through the halls this morning before entering the Meeting Room for gathering.
Middle school students enjoyed their last day by sharing appreciations, performing at the annual talent show, watching the 8th grade celebration video, and spending time with friends!
8th grade students explored tower design as part of their Innovative Architecture unit with Mr. Machado. Students learned about the history of towers, structural awareness, sustainable use of resources, and community oriented design.
