Last week in Pottery we had a special guest visitor, local ceramic artist, Jeff Haddorff! Jeff discussed the importance of putting their individual, unique perspective on each piece and to find new and interesting ways to add texture and interest in their pottery artworks. Jeff showed each class examples of his artwork and described how he creates his large-scale sculptures. Finally, he demonstrated how he works by making a small scale sculpture. Students had a great time asking questions and seeing Jeff work! It was a great opportunity for students to hear about the local art scene!

Spanish students experienced a different theater format at DJ Latinidad's Latino Dance Party.  At this play/dance party, students experienced stories of modern day Latinos living in the U.S., showing both the difficulties of being a new immigrant and the rewards of defining your identity.  Students had a blast interacting and dancing with the actors to the rhythm of salsa, merengue, vallenato and hip hop...and of course La Macarena.

Students in Mrs. Siddiqui's Geography & Global Awareness class have been studying Asian countries, culture and religions for the last few weeks.  To wrap up this unit, students are creating a children's book on an Asia continent country, or Australia and Oceania country.  This book is bound using Japanese book binding methods.  These books will be read to Kindergarteners or 1st graders later this spring, and the books will be donated to the school.
