Agar-Blunt-Onida School District 58-3

HAPPY DOT DAY!! Students in our Creative Art class celebrated International Dot Day with a special project on pointillism. Inspired by the children's book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds, International Dot Day is a global celebration of creativity, courage, and collaboration, encouraging people to "make their mark" on the world. Our 9th-12th graders took this to heart, exploring the unique painting technique pioneered by Georges Seurat. They learned how small, distinct dots of color can blend together to create a complete image, and then applied those skills to create their own modern dot art. Using specialized dot tools, they experimented with color theory and composition, creating incredible texture and depth in their work.

Dot Day Fun with Yayoi Kusama! Happy Dot Day! This year, our K-5 art students celebrated by diving into the life and work of the incredible artist Yayoi Kusama. They had a blast practicing their cutting skills, using dot brushes for the first time, and creating vibrant, colorful projects filled with dots, just like Kusama's signature style!

Second Grader Super Spellers of the week! Great job!👏

MS Science practicing dichotomous keys with their Candy Kingdoms!

Learning how to make Kool-Aid! Chargers are the Koolest!!!

Physical science has been busy this year with a lab where they used the Scientific Method to determine if candy is packed by color or randomly and another where they used dimensional analysis to make fudge!

In STEAM class our 4th and 5th graders had a blast learning about Newton's First Law of Motion which is all about how things keep doing what they're doing unless a force acts on them. We put this principle to the test by playing paper football! Students had to apply just the right amount of inertia to send their paper footballs flying, with some even scoring awesome field goals. It was a fun and hands-on way to understand how science works in real life!

Great Job Wyatt! 4th place at Hoven XC meet in the middle school division!

Our 2nd-grade art class dove into the wonderful world of museums this week! We talked about the importance of museums, and the students were so excited to share their own museum experiences. After learning about the role of a curator, they became curators themselves! They browsed through art magazines and flashcards, carefully selecting pieces to replicate on their worksheets. Stay tuned to see how their projects turn out next week!

Kindergarten tech class is learning the important skill of working together and how technology can make life easier! Our challenge Monday was to make the tallest tower with our tech team. We did a great job.

5th graders are rocking life in the music room! Rhythms and playing written music are such a great skill to have. Soon they will be playing their instruments.

Third graders in our STEAM class had a blast this week! They kicked things off by learning what STEAM stands for and read the awesome book, "Be A Maker" by Katey Howes. Inspired by the story, they used their creativity to make things with Play-Doh based on fun prompts like their favorite sport or favorite food. So much fun and great to see them becoming little makers!
