Skull Sculpting: Blending Art & History

Did you know that some historians have found evidence that sculpture as an art form has been around since 25000 BCE? Today, we had the privilege of learning the fundamentals of clay and sculpture from our artist in residence. Our classes began creating a clay model of hominid species of their choice. Later, we will glaze them and reflect on our experience. Take a look at some of our progress photos below:

Email Etiquette: Testing Our Skills

This week, we have been learning the rules of sending formal emails. This year (and beyond), students will likely need to connect with their teacher(s) for information, submitting assignments, asking questions, etc. In the future, they will potentially need to send formal emails to employers, politicians, company owners, etc.

After practicing yesterday, we will be ‘testing’ our skills by sending a formal email. Please see the link below for our criteria and tips:

Email Etiquette
