2nd Graders have been working hard on their Landform projects! Here's a sneak peek 😃

Mrs. Ivy's 2nd grade class got their Rainbow Dragon Puzzle done in Art class! They used teamwork and rainbow colored pencils to PRESS HARD into the paper and create a class dragon.

The 5th graders visited Curtis Middle School last week and got to check out the orchestra instruments!

Mr. Kincaid, the Art teacher, recently entered an art competition at Gallery VII in downtown Wichita. He submitted a photograph of a rocky, light-polluted shoreline he took on his travels in Peru. One of Mrs. Banta's fourth grade students, A'darius Washington, attended the show to cheer on his art teacher. Mr. K won the Bayles Memorial Photography Award and got a picture with A'darius to celebrate.

"Such a huge bonding moment! Next year I'll ask if any students want to join me in entering the contest."

- Mr. Kincaid

5th Grade has been doing awesome things this year!! Roller coasters and 9/11 projects from Mrs. William's class

Mrs. Mclure's 5th grade Students built roller coasters! The standard was supporting an argument that gravitational force exerted by Earth on objects is directed downward. Their objective was to design, test, and improve a model of a rollercoaster to demonstrate that the force of gravity pulls objects down towards the center of the Earth.
