Outside the Box – Juliann Talkington

On Saturday, students participated in Eastern Hemisphere Day. Each student chose one country (or island group) they studied in their Eastern Hemisphere history class, created a poster board for the country/island group and dressed in clothing typical for that country. Then as a group, the kids, parents and teacher prepared food for each area. The food was wonderful and the costumes were very creative – a Sari, a Luau skirt, New Zealand tribe attire, a soccer uniform…. Thank you Ms. Estes for coordinating such a wonderful event.

As part of the science curriculum, the children in Ms. Fu’s and Ms. Maunter’s classes have “no right answer within limits” activities. For this activity, each team was were given a bag with several items including straws and asked to create something that went continuously between the door jambs. Some solutions used paperclips, straws and rubber bands. Others included straws and tape. Not only did the kids learn how to come up with ideas on their own, but also learned from their peers. Science is creative and fun!
