7th-grade art students are diving into fall-themed creativity! 🍁🎨 Using coffee filters and watercolors, they’ve crafted stunning autumn images. Now, they’re not only mastering the art of line by adding string to show different weights and textures, but also learning to sew as part of their creative process. The results are beautiful and full of autumn vibes!

Caroline had a few extra bucks left in her Book Fair eWallet and said we should donate it to kids who need a little extra change (tax sneaks up on them) for their purchases today. It's being put to good use already! Thanks for being such a kind and helpful Shark, Caroline!

Ms. Muffett’s students worked as archaeologist in September to excavate artifacts from chocolate chip cookies. They plotted their artifacts on a grid chart and enjoyed eating their finds.
