PREHISTORIC CAVE ART PAINTINGS WITH SIXTH GRADE

The MS Office was transformed into a dark, candlelit Lascaux!

Laguna Sixth Graders are wrapping up their immersive unit on prehistoric humans. Following class discussions on the birth of arts and culture in prehistory, students tried their own hand at "cave painting." In the week leading up to the cave, they each created their own handmade brush solely from natural materials. In teams of two and three, each "cadre" used their brushes (or hands) to depict fairly complex prompts about everyday life in the stone ages.

A TALL SHIP ADVENTURE FOR 4TH GRADE


By Mrs. Brown, Fourth Grade Blog   MORE PICTURES


We arrived on the docks in Boston, hoping to be hired aboard the Spirit of Dana Point. We were lucky for a group of greenhands--we all made the cut! We learned so much about sailing, the California hide trade, and hard work. Though we faced many dangers at sea, we made it back to Boston safely. We were ecstatic to see our families and put our feet on land again.
