After giving them a worksheet with a variety of "Zen-tangle" ideas, the 7th and 8th graders amazed me with their tangling skills!

Drum Rollll...Diversity

While learning how to overlap, 7th and 8th graders made some very "Handsome Art" embracing Diversity.

Shontrell, Linda and Shaquanna related Diversity to their own friendship.



Also in celebration of Black History Month, Kindergarten practiced drawing straight lines and geometric shapes while designing their African drum.

Peacocks for Integrity (Good Principles and Morals)

The 2nd and 3rd graders made peacock collages in honor of "Integrity". Everyday, our morals are being challenged. At Schmid, we are learning to become good decision-makers. We want to make the right decisions, that will make us proud of ourselves. Peacock's are known for their beautiful feathers and being very proud animals.
