Candy Corn Confections

A couple of weeks ago our fifth and sixth graders started some pretty sweet projects.....LITERALLY!  Candy corn  is in abundance this time of year, so it provided the perfect inspiration for the fifth graders.....

 

Coming soon: Sixth Grade Projects



 

The Name Game

Our PDS fifth and sixth graders had fun making up Name Poems about themselves, while practicing their Microsoft Word skills. Enjoy!

Sweet Treats

What kid doesn't love candy, right? So this project has built in motivation. Students in several grades are working on projects based on some kind of candy, and once the projects are completed ...well....of course, the kids will just HAVE to eat the candy they drew, painted, etc.

I can hardly wait to share photos of their artwork!

PDS Meets Picasso

The first srtist we are studying about this year is Pablo Picasso. We've viewed and discussed examples of his work, and read a few books about him, too. What an inspiration this great artist has been for our class projects! Here's a look at a few from some of our second graders.  

 
 
 

 

Smiles All Around

Learning keyboarding skills, how to manipulate a mouse, or practicing math facts.....there's always something to smile about in the Computer Lab!

Eagles' Flight Fun

One of the experiences offered at Eagles' Flight auction earlier this year was a pottery workshop with yours truly. Hudson and I had SO much fun making these beautiful keepsakes! He learned many new techniques, and now has lots of treasures to share. Thanks to Hudson's family for supporting PDS and letting me be a part of the fun!
