Kindergarten Elephants

The first completed petri dish!!!!!!

One of our 5th grade students completed this dish today.  As the students complete the project they are writing about how and why they created their dish to answer the question "what does an island mean to you?"

 

Jim Toia

Artist Jim Toia came to visit Sigsbee on Monday.  Our 3rd through 6th grade students had a wonderful time learning about his project, "Petri Island", and about how they are going to participate.  Each student is creating a petri dish that visually answers the question, "what does an island mean to you?"  These petri dishes will be displayed by Jim Toia at the Studios of Key West this summer!  How exciting!  After the exhibit shows at the Studios of Key West, it will travel nation-wide and then world-wide.  What an amazing opportunity for our students!  Their artwork will be part of the traveling exhibit. Check out the embedded links above to learn more about the artist, the opportunity, and the gallery. 

Kindergarten Alligators

These are definitely the cutest alligators I've ever seen!

 

Thank you so much!

Thank you to all my students and their families that took time today to say thanks. The goodies are all so yummy and the  gifts are much appreciated!  My job is so rewarding, though, I should be thanking you!
