Our 3rd graders have been busy budding scientists! Over the past six days, students have been deeply engaged in a hands-on FOSS science investigation, carefully observing and nurturing seeds as they begin to sprout. With curiosity and care, they’ve tracked the growth of their seedlings and are now exploring a fascinating question:
Will our seedlings thrive in a hydroponic system, or will they need soil to survive?
Stay tuned as our young scientists continue to test, observe, and discover the answers through real-world experimentation and scientific inquiry!
Meanwhile, creativity is blooming in the art room! Our talented students have been hard at work on a Drawing Study project with a powerful objective:
To create art using one main photo and explore four different drawing and painting techniques.
The results are nothing short of stunning. Each piece showcases the students’ growing skills, artistic expression, and dedication to their craft. It’s inspiring to see how much growth these young artists have achieved through this thoughtful and challenging project.
