How they made it was on pack paper,with crayons, and glitter. Van Gogh’s originalpainting inspired them. They made them in Mr.Manning and Miss Hood’s classrooms. Thirdgrade students also made the pictures. Theydid a good job. I was glad I got to see thisproject because it was my first interview. Didyou know that Van Gogh only sold one paintingin his lifetime? It looked like the students had agreat time doing this project. The pictures arehanging in the hall for others to see. -CarrinaHensley2
Ms. Rowlett’s Exercise TimeCell ProjectMs. Rowlett and her third grade class gooutside for exercise every day. The studentseach get their own mat to go and do exercisessuch as scissor kicks, push-ups and runningaround a tree and back. Ms. Rowlett does theexercises with the kids. The reason she doesthis is to help the students get fit. The classdoes the exercises in the morning if it can fit inthe schedule. When the kids go home they geton the computers or watch TV and they onlyget twenty minutes of recess a day. So Ms.Rowlett decided to have an exercise time withher class. –Chloe VanHornOn September 9, in Mrs. Hall’s science classesin 6th grade, the students made a cell projectout of food. They did it so they could learnabout cells and how they work and what theydo for the body. They did it by taking snackslike Jello, nerds, and so on, to make a deliciousanimal or plant cell. –Cody BlevinsApples, Apples, ApplesCarnation ExperimentBoth 4th grade classes did an experiment withcarnations this year in Miss Hood’s scienceclass. The supplies used were cups, dye,water, and white carnations. The colors of thedye that were chosen were: red, yellow, blueor green. First they cut the leaves off theflowers. Next the students got to pick theirflower and the color of dye that they wanted.Then they put water and a few drops of dye ina small cup. Last they put the flower in the cupwith the water and dye. After about two daysthe carnations turned the color the studentschose. They did this to learn how water andnutrients travel through the stem up to theflower. –Maddy GreeneIn Kindergarten, Mrs. Geyer’s class driedapples. They did this by cranking apples on awheel so they were cut into slices and were incircles. Then they dipped them in water andhoney. After that they let them dry in a heatbox for 18 hours. The kids loved the driedapples; they were really good. In Mrs.Bonner’s class the kids cut apples in half sothat they could see the star inside the apples.Then they made a chart and the kids wrotedown their favorite color of apple between red,green, or yellow. That is how the Kindergartendid Apple projects. –Abby Crites3

SunflowersFire Prevention MonthOn September 30, the 6th grade students madea still life of sunflowers. We used beans tomake the seeds, then strips of paper to makethe petals. Next we used green paper and aforeshadowing to make the stems and pots.After they were made it was actually a prettyfun art project. It helped us all learn moreabout Vincent Van Gogh as he had a famouspainting called “Sunflowers.” -Cassandra HolbrookOn Monday, October 4, in the morning, bothkindergarten classes went to the fire station fora tour. Then later that day, Miss Goble broughtin her two Dalmatians. She brought them in toteach the students about different kinds ofDalmatians and how they can help people.She brought them to school with a bag of icecubes to give to the dogs whenever they did atrick right. Then they talked about who was themost famous person who had a Dalmatian itwas George Washington. Next she broughtcoloring sheets. They could color the dog withbrown spots, which was like Lexie or withblack, which was Emme. Then they talkedabout why they had Dalmatians long ago. Itwas because if a snake or mouse would comeand scare the horse, it would make the horseflip the people back. When the dogs sawthem, they would scare them away. Did youknow there are two kinds of Dalmatians? Well,now you do. A Dalmatian with brown spots iscalled liver. Miss Goble then let the dogs goaround the classroom so the kids could petthem. Then both classes got a picture with thedogs. All the kids had a great time. During themonth of October the students will be doingworksheets about fire safety: stop, drop androll; feel the back of the door with the front ofyour hand; and stay low and go.
