Our 6th grade students are working on their Identity Name Sculptures. This fantastic and creative project encourages self-expression and artistic exploration for every 6th-grade student! Students are using their name as a medium to convey identity elements in a unique and personal approach. The process of drawing letters as imagery rather than writing them as text adds an extra layer of creativity to the project.
Students are asked to share aspects of themselves through their artwork. This project not only allows for artistic expression but also provides a platform for students to reflect on and communicate different facets of their identity. Their sculptures must illustrate 5-10 identity elements about who they are. Once they have drawn their names with their identity elements, they cut each letter out and assemble them into their 3-dimensional structure. Please ask your child to show you their sculptures when they come home!
Students in 6th grade Family & Consumer Science class are off to a great start in our new kitchens. Students are mastering kitchen safety, learning to read and follow recipes, and perfecting the art of garnishing dishes to create culinary masterpieces!
6th grade students have been introduced to coding through Apple’s Swift Playground App! In this engaging program, students use the Swift programming language to navigate a character named Byte through various worlds while completing a series of missions that require Byte to collect gems, turn on switches and travel through teleporters
Through this experience, students learn essential programming concepts, including:
· For Loops: By creating loops, they can repeat tasks efficiently, helping Byte to accomplish his goals.
· Conditional Statements: Students develop the ability to write conditional code, enabling Byte to respond intelligently to different situations.
· Logical Operations: They also explore logical operations, allowing them to handle more complex situations as Byte navigates his environment.
This hands-on learning not only enhances students' technical skills but also fosters critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
