Week 5

Teacher In-Service

I greatly enjoyed the teacher's in-service speaker today -- Tim Elmore (http://growingleaders.com/tim-elmore/).  He is an extremely knowledgable speaker when it comes to the topic of the younger generation ("Generation iY") and how we can be better preparing this generation for their future.  His messages are both for teachers and parents; check out his site linked above.

Feudalism

Students began exploring the Middle Ages in Europe this week.  We discovered what it would be like to be a monarch, a lord or lady, a knight, and a peasant through a fun Skittles activity!

 Hail to Queen Vallen!

 The Queen at work throughout the day :)

 Art

The first completed art project of the year "Namely Me" -- A creative collage all about them!

Next week I will post pictures of color wheels which were completed this week -- beautiful works of art!
