Talented Artists in Mrs. Heine's Classes

The first project Mrs. Heine's art students work on is their porfolio folder.  Here are a few of the portfolios they have created.

Flyer Time Activities

Flyer Time classes do multiple activities to incorporate the character traits in their daily lives.  

Students write letters to veterans, raise money for local charities, make bumper stickers about respect, play team building games as well as many other character building activities.

Where's my Chair?

Ms. Frank's math classes have turned in their chairs and are using balls in their place.  She read that using the balls as chairs helped students stay focused.  It also helps students use energy (to stay on the ball) and posture.  So she got funding through DonorsChoose.org and received enough to purchase a set of stability balls for her class. I asked students how they liked the new "furniture" and they all said they really liked the balls.  One student said it helped her stay focused on her work.
