Lower Campus News

After finishing two collaborative projects (the wall hanging for the auction and a giant race track drawing), the first graders have been working on making colorful yarn “ojos.” They learned tying and how to make a square knot.  Second grade has been diligently working on their pinatas for the auction– check them out this weekend at Spring Fling!  Third grade just finished glazing their tiles; look for those to come home Friday.  They are now working on coil cups.  The fourth graders have been doing miniature loom weavings and finishing up their wall-hanging for the auction.
