5th Grade Art Club

5th grade art club is an awesome, after school club because you can finish a work of art that you are in the process of completing or create free drawings. The main project we are working on is making an animal with wire and paper mache. Our next step is painting the creature to really bring it to life! Or make your own creative colored creature (you can use any kind of paint colors you want to use.)

I finished my animal project, it was a wise owl. Now I can make my own creative art. These are our activities until it is time to go home on the late bus or be picked up.

These are the numerous reasons to join art club. Let your imagination fly free!

Life is Busy. So,... Stress Less!

About 3 weeks ago,  Ms. Selinger’s Wednesday lunch group, Stress Less, took a field trip to the Velvet Mill.  They experienced many different tranquil activities, such as learning about soothing pressure points, taking a yoga class, and learning about oils that relieve stress.  “I had a lot of fun and learned a lot.”  6th grader Bobbie Doherty said.  “It was definitely a stress-relieving experience."  This day was nice to expand our coping tool box.  Meaning that we discussed a lot of strategies and are always looking for more.

"I also really enjoyed learning about the Velvet Mill,”  Ms. Selinger added.  She also commented that she enjoyed the yoga the most and it seemed that the students did too. The one downfall to the trip was that the bakery, Zest, was CLOSED!  At the yoga studio, they worked on mindfulness and calming breathing.  They learned about dream catchers and other mystical things at the Wise Old Owl and watched as pressure points got shown and explained.  They would like to thank the driver and everyone at the Velvet Mill.
