Colorful Block Prints

Mrs. Ponden — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 03:04:56 +0000

Block printing is a process that creates a relief or stamp out of a material, which can be printed again and again using a medium such as ink. It is an ancient art, whose applications range from textile design to fine art. The sixth grade recently finished a project on block printing that involved carving patterns and shapes and then imagining them in multiple colors and orientations. They started with a single block and designed two different images, one for each side. They then carved their patterns carefully using linoleum block carving tools and made sure to account for different types of lines and areas of negative space. They then began the printing process, which was more of a printing experiment. The students printed each side on top of the other in different colors and with different orientations. The prints were rotated, shadowed, staggered, and flipped. The results are as unique and individual as the students themselves, and all are magnificent.

Object Modeling

Mr. Mitchell — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 03:03:58 +0000

Sixth grade began venturing into the three dimensional world of Google SketchUp. SketchUp, a geometry-based program used to develop three dimensional environments, applies math and geometry concepts to creating a real life models of objects or places. We began by discussing the process of using a ruler to properly measure and also about the concept of creating objects to scale. This process led us to a finished product where many were surprised by what they could do with applied math knowledge. This is the beginning of a long journey of applying math concepts to create projects that will become more complex and creative! We look forward to these future projects.

Geography Bee

Mrs. Leidlein — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 03:01:57 +0000

On Wednesday, January 11th, the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade students gathered in the library for the annual school wide Geography Bee. The winner of the Bee was 7th grader Max. Max will take a test to see if he qualifies for the statewide Geography Bee, which will be held in May. 5th grader, Mary came in 2nd place and 6th grader, Delaney came in third. Other students who represented their class were Jonathan and Rachael in 8th grade, Paul in 7th grade, Maria in 6th grade and Gianna in 5th grade. These students all answered 5 or more questions correctly in the classroom round in which each student is asked 7 questions. Alternates included Ben , TJ , Alex M., Kailey , Ian, Colin and Danny.

Graphic iPod Silhouettes

Mrs. Ponden — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 21:59:36 +0000

For our first graphic design project and introduction into the digital world of Photoshop, students in sixth grade transformed their portraits into silhouettes reminiscent of the famous iPod ads. Starting with a digital picture, the students learned how to create a path around their bodies, cut and paste into a new layer, change the background color, desaturate and silhouette, and finally add a realistic shadow and even an ipod or two. Some students this year got really creative with adding elements to create a wonderfully wacky world. Finally, they had to come up with a “title” that was representative of their image.

meet the bears

Have you ever had a family of bears in your room? Sixth grade Spanish has! As we practice subject pronouns (yo, tú, ella … I, you, she…) and “ser” (to be), sixth grade wrote skits using all the different forms. We had weather announcers cancelling school due to snow, a family of bears introducing themselves, and good friends chatting as the sixth graders demonstrated their creativity and ability to manipulate the vocabulary and grammar we have been studying. Be sure to stay warm in all that snow over vacation, bears! See you next year!

Step Aside, Rick Riordan!

Mrs. Lamb — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 11:37:20 +0000

The sixth grade just finished the first drafts of their Greek mythology short stories. With the Percy Jackson series and other myths as inspiration, students used gods, goddesses, monsters, and other mythical creatures to create their own adventures. Poseidon, Zeus, Hades and Aphrodite are popular characters, but do not be surprised to read about a Minotaur, Centaur, Cyclops, and Pegasus. Look for finished stories after winter break!

Did You Know?

Mrs. Leidlein — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 16:17:54 +0000

Did you know that the Great Pyramid is the largest limestone building in the world? When first built, the structure stood 481 feet tall, as tall as a 40 story building. Did you know historians believe it took 20,000 workers between 10 and 20 years to build the Great Pyramid? The sixth graders are currently writing stories using these and other facts. They are writing as if they are an official, advising the Pharaoh on the building of their pyramid. Not only will students use the facts they have learned, they will use their research skills and incorporate the skills they have learned in English regarding story planning and using dialogue. The students are enthusiastically gathering facts and writing. I can’t wait to read them!

The Hall of Ancestors

Mrs. Ponden — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 12:09:27 +0000

Each year in art, the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades have a special assignment designed especially for the Winter Festival. The projects rotate and have previously included heraldic coats of arms and illuminated letters. This year we have been studying portraits, specifically those done by Medieval artists of royal families. The students looked at many famous paintings and examples of Medieval and Renaissance art. We discussed ways to make a face look proportional, as well as techniques for drawing eyes, noses, and lips. The students then imagined they had an ancestor (royal or not) and designed a portrait featuring their character. They added many details to describe their subject’s attributes and tell their story from the clothing to jewelry, crowns and riches. We first outlined everything with a chosen color to help give definition and structure to our portraits. This also helped take the emphasis off of realism and created an older look to the pictures. Then we used tempera paint to carefully color in our ancestors. The richly ornamented finished projects will be displayed in the “Medieval dining hall” during the Winter Festival’s feast, and they will remain on display there through the end of the year. Check back soon to see examples online as well!

Which came first? The rock or the mineral?

Mr. Knebel — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 22:14:09 +0000

The sixth grade just wrapped up lessons on earth models and minerals. Mr. Knebel brought in his collection of geodes and quartz crystal formations. Just like the chicken or the egg question, students tried to decide how the crystal minerals got inside the rocks known as geodes and which one came first.

Pictured are Elysse and Elizabeth examining a geode.
