A Child's Dream...A Christmas Tradition

Every few years the Junior Auxiliary sponsors an art contest in conjunction with their production of A Child's Dream, a beautiful rendition of The Nutcracker. This year PDS was well represented with many entries, and five of our students placed in the competition. Grand Prize Winner Shelby Stillions' artwork was featured on the ballet's t-shirt design as well as the program cover.

The program also featured artworks by Diya Patel, Logan Cutts, Breland Sledge and Kailyn Byas. PDS art students rock! Congratulations to all!

 Thanks to Sonya Burchfield for taking these photos at the night performance for us!

 

The 4th grade had fun creating a word search using the First grade spelling words. They were so excited to deliver them to Mrs. Berryhill and Mrs. Roberts classes.

Wibble Wobble Bobbleheads

What do you get when you put two pinch pots and a child's creativity together? These adorable bobbleheads that's what! This has got to be one of my all time favorite pottery projects EVER! And I think the Sixth Graders nailed it, don't you?

Third Grade Warmup/Cool Down

These mixed media projects by our Third Graders are the perfect way to celebrate Fall's warm days and cool nights! I think they did a fabulous job!

Fall Fun in the computer lab

Each week during their computer class, 

they an opportunity to get on the board. 

They are working hard on their typing speed and skills!

     The 5th and 6th grade students made a fall chart using Microsoft Word. They worked hard and it shows! Come check out their work that is posted in the Art/Computer Building!!

Primarily Mondrian

Our precious 4K kiddos have had so much fun learning about the primary colors and the artist Mondrian!

Mavis Beacon is the software that teaches our children how to successfully type on the computer! We have been working hard and improving each week. These children earned certificates and moved to a new level. Way to go!!

Many, Many Thanks!

Our PDS Class of 2018 Sixth Grade graduates would like to thank the Crosstie Arts Council for awarding our school a mini-grant for our final project. The Council's generosity not only provided art supplies, but gave our sixth graders the opportunity to explore painting on canvas as they made a special reminder of their years at PDS. Didn't they do a beautiful job?

Thank you, Crosstie Arts Council!!!!!

Welcome to Computers!!

I am so excited to be the PDS Computer Teacher this year! I hope your children are excited too.

Our goal this year is to "Be an Encourage-er" in all that we do to show glory to God!

CREATIVE WORK

 We have been busy tech bees....4th, 5th and 6th graders 

"Word Play" project!! We used this project to get

to know each other and to learn how to navigate in Microsoft Word.

Eagles' Flight Fun

 What fun Hudson and I had during this year's Eagles' Flight Pottery sessions! Not only did he hone his clay skills, but he took home some awesome baseball wind chimes, a gorgeous ceramic box, an adorable bobblehead pup, and even a couple of cool pendants! Thanks, Candice Fioranelli and Hudson for supporting PDS through our Eagles' Flight auction!

Fish Tale

Oops! I forgot to take pictures of most of the Sixth graders' pottery fish before letting the kids take them home, but here are a couple that haven't left their "school". They are certainly a prize catch!
