The Winning Streak Continues For Volleyball Teams!

Varsity Volleyball is now 5-0 and our JV team is 4-0.  One of the things that we are focusing on this season is "controlling the controllable". We have become laser-focused on what we can control on our side of the court. 

"While this is certainly easier said than done, I have seen a visible difference so far this season. I am proud of these girls as there are so many factors outside of our control right now. They have done a great job staying focused on what they can control".  

Combining History & Art In Exploring Native American Culture

Hands on learning brings history to life! It's only the second full week of school and our PCA students are already hard at work. 

Fourth grade teacher Katie Hyman explained that their classes"...are studying Native Americans and how their environment influenced what type of home they lived in, what they ate, and how they dressed." So when the fourth grade teachers found out that the first unit in art class this year was clay, they had an idea.

"They wanted to integrate Native American art [into class]" said art teacher Anna Boyer, "and I was happy to try a new project! I picked out teepees so that students would be able to carve the symbols into the walls of their homes, which are discussed in their history unit, while also working in 3D for the Clay Unit."

Fourth grader Boone Byham said that he liked combining art and history because, "we got to learn how teepees were built [in class] and then we got to make our own."

Combining these important lessons with art is an experience that will certainly go down in fourth grade history.
