🦉✨ Mrs. Tamura's kindergartners had a hoot creating their very own owls! 🖌️ They painted a night sky by mixing blue and black for a twilight effect, then used torn paper to craft each owl's body. Such creative and fun little artists! 🎨🌌
Mrs. Stewart's 2nd graders explored the different properties of materials and put their creativity to the test! Their challenge: design a hat they would wear if stranded on a deserted island, using only a paper bag, foil, a paper towel, and a paper plate! 🛠️✨
The results were as fun and imaginative as you'd expect! 🎨👏

🤝 Building Strong Connections at Frontier! 🤝
At Frontier, part of our mission is to foster positive relationships among our students. One way we're achieving that is by pairing up students across different grade levels to work on fun and meaningful projects throughout the year. This past week, our third graders teamed up with kinder kids for a special reading session, while our 4th and 1st graders collaborated on a fall-themed art project and a "getting to know you" activity. We’re excited to see these friendships grow! 🍂📚🎨
🦴 Exploring Science Through Art! 🦴
Mrs. Dutcher's class took their new knowledge from the human body science unit and brought it to life—by creating amazing skeleton art! 🎨💀 The students learned all about the bones that keep our bodies moving and used their creativity to show off what they've discovered. We’re so proud of their hard work and imagination! 🧠🖌️
🏃♂️🏃♀️ Mr. Thompson and our students kicked off Marathon Kids this week! 🏅 Each lap around "The Concrete River" gets them one step closer to their marathon goals. With every run or walk, students scan their badges to track their progress. Keep up the great work, kids! 💪
Mrs. Clark's 5th graders had a blast this week discovering the amazing job earthworms do for our soil! 🌱🪱 During their "Ask a Worm" experiment, they observed real earthworms and created their own tests to find out if worms like dry or wet areas. The students learned how to design a fair experiment and explored some cool new questions about worm behavior. Science is so much fun when you get hands-on! 👩🔬🧑🔬
