This quarter 5th graders embarked on quite a project. In class we learned about superheros and their characteristics and also discussed why it is important to eat healthy. I introduced students to super foods, foods that are particularly good for you, and each student got assigned a super food. In media class, students researched facts about this food to know exactly why the food was so healthy. In art, the students drew the super food AS a super hero to show how healthy and super the food was. They then used their facts they researched and included those on the poster. These posters will be hanging in the cafeteria to remind the entire school to make healthy eating choices.

This quarter 4th graders learned about tessellations, a shape that fits together perfectly, has no gaps or overlaps, and if given the chance can repeat forever. Students created their own unique tessellations using an index card. They then gave their tessellation a character and colored them in an ABA or ABC pattern. I am super impressed with their results!
This student created two characters, a blonde man and a blue jay Here's a cool dude with sun glasses This tessellation is a foot with some sweet shoes, and then the foot of a beast!
