Zentangles?

What's a Zentangle? Structure, contained doodles comprised of repetive patterns.....the Sixth Graders really became "entangled" in creating their Zentangles!

Crosstie Arts and Jazz Festival

We are SOOOOO proud to announce that PDS had age group winners in both the Children's Art and Children's Writing competitions! 4K student, Claire Rizzo, and third grader, Caleb Williams won first place in Art while first grader, Rett McKnight won first place for his poem and sixth grader, Erin Raye Owens won for her short story. We will post pictures soon. The arts are definitely alive and well at PDS!

MANY THANKS!!!!!!!!!

What a wonderful Spring Art Show (and Pre-Crosstie Competition) we've had! And we couldn't have done it without a LOT of help! Many, many thanks go to Mrs. Howarth, Mrs. Turner, Mrs. Clark, Ms. Ann, and Mr. Dan for helping get the show up; to Mr. Jordan and his fantastic crew of carpenters for building such great display units; and to the Sixth Grade class for so carefully dismantling the exhibit. Thanks, too, go to our wonderful PTF for their support in so many ways! Last, but not least, we thank Coach Cox for graciously allowing us to invade the gym for three days! I leave you with a few pictures from the exhibit. We  will post pictures of the winners soon!

KidPix Pizza Parlor

Welcome to the Kindergarten Kidpix Pizza Parlor!

 Check out some of our computer lab"chefs" with their delicious looking pizzas. Are you hungry yet?

This semester the 4K and 5K students have spent the first half of each computer lab completing a directed drawing lesson in Kidpix. The kids just think they are having fun drawing on the computer, but they are really practicing many valuable  skills like following multi step oral directions, manipulating a mouse, shape recognition, using drop down menus, and utilizing a variety of buttons. I can  only imagine how computer savvy they will be by the time they graduate from PDS!
