  • Anna – 5th Grade – Oil Pastel – Birch Trees in the Snow - Art Teacher – Mrs. Barry

 

  • Sophia – 6th Grade – Chalk Pastel – Animal Drawing

We were so pleased that Rebecca and her family attended the meeting! Rebecca spoke about what all the different colors of torn paper in her landscape represented. Great job Rebecca!

Each month we will be displaying new artwork and recognizing our student artists.

Ms. Gensel introduced Ms. Hauser Director of Curriculum who along with, Mrs. Emmons, BCMS  STEM Coach and Ms. Patente, K-2 STEM Coach gave a presentation on their experience at the Smithsonian International K-12 Science Education Institute for Leadership Development and Strategic Planning. Along with Ms. Muzychko, 3-5 STEM Coach and Ms. Bernet, 8th Grade Science Teacher, last nights presenters       spent 5 days at the institute which challenged participants to work together to construct a vision of inquiry based, hands-on STEM education that supports a scientifically literate, career-ready citizenry.

They had a challenging week and left with a plan to:

  • Create a network of possible contacts within the surrounding community as well as those from the Institute.
  • Hold department meetings with staff to gather ideas for additional cross curricular connections.
  • Meet with administration to share content at grade level bands and help them recognize where they are connected.
