Perspective, Take Two

Our Fifth and Sixth Graders did a great job with their one point perspective projects!

One Fish, Two Fish...A Whole lot of Cute Fish!

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!!!!!

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!

It's All About Perspective

One point perspective that is! Check out these "works in progress" by our Fifth graders. Soon we'll post pictures of some of the finished drawings.

You Gotta Have HEART!

As February brings to mind Valentine's Day, it also brings visions of HEARTS! But this year at PDS Coach Cox is putting a different spin on things by partnering with the American Heart Association as we focus on keeping our real hearts healthy through exercise. During the next couple of weeks, PDS students will be participating in Jump Rope for Heart activities during PE. So what does that have to do with ART? Plenty...as every K4 through 6th grader has been painting/decorating hearts to help make the event more festive! Even Coach Cox joined in the art room fun!

Computer Copycats

In Computer lab, K4 through 1st grade have been working hard to master basic mouse skills. This week they followed oral directions to draw a cat, rocket and sailboat. They used a dropdown menu to change paint colors, varied the size/shape of their drawing tools, and used their imaginations along the way!
