6th Grade Everglades Adventure!

On February 23rd, the sixth graders ventured to the Everglades Youth Conservation Camp for a day of ecosystem exploration. The sixth graders hiked through three distinct ecosystems, including the pine flatwood, cypress swamp, and hardwood hammock.

Daruma Dolls

Seventh and Eighth graders made paper mache Daruma Dolls as we studied Japanese culture and art. We studied the history of the Daruma Doll and the legend behind the Buddhist Monk, Bodhiharma, who apparently sat in meditation for nine years without moving - thus the missing arms and legs on the Daruma Doll. Daruma Dolls are a symbol of good luck and perseverance and are a common 'toy' in Japan.

Antarctic Scenes

In sixth grade we transformed our warm Florida classroom into a snowy retreat as we learned about the continent of Antarctica and created an abstract Antarctic landscape. After discussing details of the continent, we discussed different watercolor techniques. Students experimented with a total of seven different techniques including using bubbles, salt, crayon resist, tissue paper, rubbing alcohol, and even rice to achieve a variety of textures on different sections of thei

Penguin art

Kindergarten and first graders learned about the continent of Antarctica focusing on the icy landscape and the penguins that live there. We learned how objects far away from us look smaller than objects close to us. We learned what a horizon line is and that it is far away - therefore as objects get closer to the horizon line, they appear smaller. In this way we learned how to create space in a flat picture. Students cut out and organized different sized ovals, from large

The beauty of diversity

I know, every year about this time, I say the same thing, “the EDU-Garden® looks as beautiful as I have ever seen it!” But it is as true today as it has been in previous years. There is a good reason, too, if you will look closely at the photo taken January 17, you will see how much diversity there is in the garden. Notice that there is quite a mixture of different things growing, flowers and edible crops. Most of our students can identify everything in the picture. Can you?
