Garfield School: Mr. McShane's art students are learning about pointillism, which is a technique that involves creating art with dots. This technique requires patience, but the results are unique and beautiful. Pointillism lends itself well to nature which was the subject of this project. The students created beautiful artwork!
Franklin School is kicking off a brand new school year with an important mindset: every student learns and solves problems in their own unique way.
To celebrate this, students in Mrs. Komurek-DeMatos' classes were asked to reflect on a fun and insightful question:
"What type of math person are you?"
This activity helps set the tone for a classroom where all math minds are valued ā because there's no one right way to be a āmath person.ā
Hereās to a year full of growth, discovery, and confidence in math!
