5th Graders explored blending, layering, and other techniques with oil pastels in Art.
This week 4th & 5th grade students visited Traverse de Sioux Treaty Site to learn about our local history in connection with a unit in library media class. This field trip was made possible by a grant from the Minneapolis Foundation for Native American Education which Mrs. Ranft applied for and received. The students enjoyed the stories and exploration of this historic area! Thank you also to the chaperones and the wonderful volunteers at the Treaty Site!
3rd Grade students worked with oil pastels today, first exploring the limits and the possibilities, then creating a work of art.
To celebrate homecoming week, first graders showed their Giant Pride by painting blue and gold rocks. Look for them hiding around Le Sueur and Henderson!

Students are learning about Zentangles in art. Zentangles are a form of drawing using repetitive patterns. They have a calming effect on the person. We talked about being able to use this skill when you are stressed, upset, bored, etc..
Kindergarten students listen as the High School band performs for them at recess.
It was a Wacky Wednesday in Ms. Donahue's class! Practicing spelling words has never looked so fun!🤩
First Graders love to read! - During our first week of reading we talk about the students favorite place to read and then make a quilt square with them reading in the middle.
Preschoolers have been learning about apples and having fun with different apple activities!

Congratulations to Park Elementary May Students of the Month!
A special thanks to the H.A.V.E grant program. This year in art we were able to participate in three field trips and bring art adventure kits from the Minneapolis Institute of Art for grades K-5. 3rd & 4th graders visited the Rochester Art Center to see the Native American art exhibit Dreaming our Future and 5th graders attended a tour at the Minneapolis Institute of Art and a scavenger hunt at the Walker Minneapolis Sculpture Park. These real world experiences for the students to experience art in person was a true gift and provided them with a whole new perspective on art. Thank you so much H.A.V.E!
