Keeping Nashville Beautiful!

And the finalists are.... Brianna Doss and Andrea Florence! Here we are with the Mayor of Nashville, Karl Dean!

WE LOVE WEAVING

Our third grade classes are now half way through their individual circle weaving project. Our classes learned how to properly set up a the loom using a paper plate and colorful yarn. A pattern of pulling the yarn under, over, under, over creates the beautiful radial weaving that is both beautiful to look at and fun to do!

Here is a photo of our friends in Mrs. Jensen's class working on their awesome weavings.

Way to go girls!

'TIS THE SEASON AT CANE RIDGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

 

Ms. Golen's Kindergarten through 4th grade classes made a Thankful Tree the day before Thanksgiving break. Each student traced their hand, cut it out and drew a picture of or wrote what they were thankful for. The many hands grew into a full and bright tree of autumn leaves.

 

 

Speaking of trees and holiday celebrations... have you see our super cool Cane Ridge Christmas tree?

Big thank you to Home Depot who donated the tree to our school! This year's tree is decorated with decorations created by both Ms. Motta and Ms. Golen's 2nd grade classes. It is only fitting that we chose owls- be sure to stop by our front lobby to take a look at this beautiful sight.

 

 

 

That's all for now...

Ms. Golen :)

 

 

 

Second grade learning about TINTS!

Tints are colors that are mixed with white to create a lighter value of that color! Ms. Morris's class explores mixing tints while being inspired by Kandinsky's circles.
