Some Kind of Monster

These "monster skeletons" were made by the 4th graders. I'll let you figure out the names.


Have a great spring break!

The Beasts of the Fields

Chloe
These are some animals the 6th graders painted using watercolors.
Mattie
They were asked to focus n the texture of the animals' fur or skin or whatever they happened to have.

K.C.
I don't know what kind of creature this was, but it was cute.
Hannah

Again, the picture just inexplicably rotated, and I don't know how to fix it. Anyway, I really liked the eyes on this fox.

Melvin
This eagle reminded me of Sam the Eagle from the Muppet Show.

Our house...in the middle of our street


These buildings are the products of our first IB unit. The students imagined themselves as architects, and they had to design a house or some other structure with a specific client in mind. This first one belongs to Justin W., and he designed a house in the mountains for a retired couple.



This is one that Byron made for Kanye West



I'm not quite sure what this is. Maybe Sable designed a new Fortress of Solitude for Superman.



I like the kind of elegant simplicity of Victoria's Japanese style house

The students were really enthusiastic about this project, and these are just a few of the results. I'll include some more in a later post.

Aarrrgh!

My internet is moving so slowly today. I think if I tried doing a full post, the process of uploading pictures would cause me to throw the computer out the window. I'll do a big post on Monday and everyone can see the houses we've been working on. Have a great weekend, and enjoy the (yay!) warmer weather.
