Veteran's Day - War and Peace: A Child's Vision

A students in room 115 had the privilege of participating in a ceremony of honor for those that have served in the armed services. With the help of Mrs. Yingling, the students created four banners in the style of Henri Matisse. They then worked with Nikki Robinson, from the Wick Poetry Center in Kent and created a group poem entitled Our Que Huong. Que huong is a traditional saying in Viet Nam that figuratively asks, "Where are you from?" A group of students presented their group poem on Sunday night along with a number of veterans from current and past wars. Their artwork will hang at the First Congregational Church in Tallmadge until December 7, Pearl Harbor Day. Take a look at the photos of their artwork and listen to the presentation of their group poem.

The students sincerely want to thank those that currently serve or have served our country to make this world a better place.

Try the Sand Run Parcours and you can hike a mile and complete 20 physical fitness activities along the way. The students in Mrs. G's class loved the challenge of making par on each exercise. The Sand Run trail completion means they are half-way through the Hiking Spree for 2009.

Watch for updates in the near future.

Cartographers Create in Mrs. G's Class

The students in Mrs. G's class have spent the last few weeks learning about maps. They culminated this learning by creating their own Maps of Imagination.

Each student chose a theme and then designed maps around that theme. Every map included a title, a map key, a compass rose, a map scale, and a grid to help locate places. Interesting map themes were magic, books, fashion, basketball, and frogs. The students used a rubric to earn their best scores. Their maps will be on display outside room 115. Stop by and enjoy.
