Birds In Trees

Submitted by doug.lai on

Students learned how to make Birch trees, using paint and then different paper was available for them to design a bird and place them on their trees. A snowy background finished their picture. Great job!

Castles

Submitted by doug.lai on

Mrs. Fordiani's sixth-grade class enjoyed building castles as part of their medieval unit. The castles needed to have a moat, drawbridge, curtain walls, arrow loops, a bailey, battlements, towers, and a keep just to name a few. They had so much fun!

If you were a bird, what type of personality would you have?

Sixth-grade students had that oppertunity with their bird sculptures. After paper mache' and paint students began giving then all kinds of personality with any materials they could think of. What a great job they did!

We are excited for the upcoming Teacher Appreciation/Kindness Week that is scheduled for Tuesday, February 21 – Friday, February 24.  This week is a fun way as parents and PTA members that we can let the teachers and staff of Spring Lake Elementary know how much we appreciate all that they do to go above and beyond to teach, inspire, protect, and love our kids.

Medieval Festival

Submitted by doug.lai on

The sixth-grade had the opportunity of participating in a Medieval
Festival on Wednesday, January 25. Parents volunteered to teach about
eight different important topics pertaining to the Middle Ages. Some
included: weaponry, jousting, food, castles, candle making, etc.
Students attended all eight classes in rotations, and it was a great
learning experience for all! Thank you to all the parents who helped
with this fun learning experience at Spring Lake!
