PICTURES



DREAMERS - DUPONT

A number of things are going on in this photo album from Ms. Dupont’s kindergarten classroom. Some students were having their morning snack. Others were working on “fluffy painting” art (made with Elmer’s glue and food coloring). On one side of the classroom, Ms. Dupont set up a magic milk station with paper bowls, a tiny layer of milk in those bowls, droplets of food coloring in that milk, and finally Q-tips dipped in dish soap. The milk transformed into interesting patterns when the food coloring droplets that were suspended in the milk were barely touched using the soap-dabbed Q-tips. 11-20-2020.  Link to 35 Pictures





INVESTIGATORS - FITZGERALD

It was a busy math instruction time when these photos were taken. Ms. Fitzgerald found ways to make it fun. 11-20-2020.  Link to 35 Pictures




VOYAGERS - JARVIS

These 4th-graders participated in a P.E. game of knocking over hula-hoop “castles”. There were four groups who built their castles and each group had to protect their structure while at the same time attempting to knock over the others with foam balls. 11-19-2020.  Link to 29 Pictures
