Welcome to the jungle! After an art history discussion of a Rousseau painting, 5th graders create their own mixed media artwork to the background sounds of waterfalls and birds. Many are choosing animals for their subjects after we practiced drawing a tiger in class.

5th graders enjoy hands on creativity and problem solving during “Fun Choice Day”. Other students painted, played board games and continued 3D modeling in Tinkercad. Students earn Fun choice days as a reward for great behavior and attitudes.

Last May, two 5th grade classes made welcome posters for our new school year. They were excited to embrace their roles as 6th grade leaders! It is especially neat that the space themed poster matches our HEB slogan “ Imagine”.
