Shrunken Heads

Submitted by doug.lai on

From our Spring Lake Headhunters.
Watch out!  Our Spring Lake Headhunters created shrunken heads, from apples.
Students started with an apple, peeled it, and then carved a face into it. After the apple was dried they discovered that their heads had morphed into totally different face.
Students decided what their face could be and began creating the finished product. Great Job Spring Lake head hunters.

Attack Of The Aliens

Submitted by doug.lai on

Students created Aliens using a toilet paper towel roll and construction paper. Each Alien had certain requirements in order to be shown in the hall. Aliens had to have arms, feet, and a whole lot of creativity, I believe they did just that in this display of Attack of the Aliens.

Kindergarten Headbands

Submitted by doug.lai on

In kindergarten we had each kindergartner and their family work together to find a Native American name that was a positive descriptive of him or her. (For examples: Smiles with Eyes or Kicking Deer.) Then to celebrate Thanksgiving all the kindergartners made Native American headbands with their special names written on them.

Monday November 19th, Spring Lake Elementary hosted its annual Turkey Gobbling Contest. Classes held individual contests to select a winner.  All classroom winners then performed on the stage for the whole student body.  Our student council had the tough decision of picking a winner from lower and upper grades.
