The students at Spring Lake Elementary read, read, read, during the month of March for the chance to participate in our annual March Madness basketball shoot. Several dedicated readers were given the opportunity to make as many baskets as they could in thirty seconds.  Each basket made was worth dollars from Mr. Sainsbury.  There were also many books and other prizes awarded to students for their reading efforts.  It pays to read!

Kindergarten:  Melanie Molina, Daniel Ceja, Alana Whiting, Angel Vasquez, Kathryn Gaskill, Marty Grant, Zack Hadlock, Hannah Hurst, Tori Shirley and Derek Peterson.

First-grade:  Bentley Davis, Tana Trotter, Lexi Moore, Owen Frost, Caleb Atkin, Addilade Provstgaard, William Farrer, Sean Rawson, Remie Worthen, Brooklyn Bird, Matthew Scholl, Hyrum Siufanua, Joe Mittleman, Landon Kennard, and Nicole Hall.

These colorful birds began with a simple drawing, then magazine pages were cut into triangles and layered to complete their birds.

The students realized how quickly the bird came alive after layering it. Their drawings went from a 2D image to a 3D finished project. Each bird is different and unique, just like in nature.

 Nice job to all!

Students took a favorite character and made it come alive, through sculpture. Students worked in groups in the planning of their project.

Wire and newspaper supplied their creations. Paper Mache’ was added to harden the sculpture, and lastly the final coats of tissue paper, fabric, and any other material possible were used to finish these sculptures.
