A SPACE to CREATE ART (Celebration of the Arts, 2019)

Here is a sneak peak of our 6th grade Art Installation on SPACE. I chose to use the Element of Art: SPACE to create my part of this Art Exhibition. Check back for the full installation details at a later date, because we will be sure to post!

Parent Letter:

Dear Sixth Grade Families,

Our sixth-grade students have been working on a thematic unit combining the space race, the future of space exploration, and the notion that “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts,” based on a quotation by Aristotle. These elements have been woven throughout all the sixth-grade classes over the past several weeks. Our students have read the novel Freak the Mighty and written "space poems." They have learned about the Space Race and studied the future of space exploration. They have built and launched their own rockets, while learning how to calculate angles, altitude, and speed. They have created scaled models of various crafts from past space explorations. They have even engaged in debates and discussions about space-related issues. 


On Friday, April 5th we invite you to visit the wonderful display our sixth-graders will have ready in the Langford Library during the Celebration of the Arts from 1:00 - 3:00 pm. You will have the opportunity to see the activities and skills applied by our students as they launched into this thematic unit.

We sincerely hope to see you all there.
Please feel free to contact the Middle School office with any questions.
