(9/6): For the month of August, 6th grade gifted students learned about mindfulness and emotional self-regulation. Along with this, they completed daily critical thinking activities. Students learned that what we create artistically can be a reflection of self .... the colors we use, the shapes we choose, and the overall design composition - all reveal something about how we think, feel, and function. Together, we learned about mandalas, and how people have created them throughout history to explore and express themselves.
We did a tutorial together, learned and experimented with a graphic design approach, and created our own!

(8/30): AGRICULTURE: EPISODE 3: STINK BUGS? NO! STICK BUGS: Mrs. Whitworth and Ms. Swain's 6th grade AG classes learned about symmetry through nature Monday of this week. They learned what objects in nature are symmetrical such as leaves, butterflies, flies, beetles, and other insects. They then used different items from nature to create a symmetrical stick bug. Students enjoyed searching for their items and trying to be the most unique! Students then created an adventure story with their stick bug as the main character. They were so good and FUNNY!
