Discovering connections between literature and our Discovering connections between literature and our community...

Omega 6th grade students spent the last several weeks reading "Seedfolks" by Paul Fleishman. This book follows a diverse group of people who transform a vacant lot in their Cleveland neighborhood into a thriving community garden. Each chapter of the book is written from a different character's perspective and the garden itself becomes a catalyst for bringing people together in transformative ways. 

After reading the book, our students took a walking field trip to visit a transformational community garden, the Burton Street Peace Garden, right here in West Asheville. What a wonderful way to build connections with learning and our local community!

Have you ever made your own drawing pigments with Have you ever made your own drawing pigments with natural materials?

Our fourth graders have! As part of their archaeology unit, our fourth grade students explored the art of early civilizations. They collected nuts, leaves, berries, and bits of burnt wood to create pigments and practiced drawing on vertical surfaces with sticks and other natural implements. 

What natural materials can you find in your neighborhood to draw with?

Who doesn't love playing in the snow?! Students o Who doesn't love playing in the snow?!

Students of all ages were reveling in the appearance of snow on our campus today and the cold didn't keep our littlest learners from enjoying their time outside. Rainbow preschoolers regularly learn and play outdoors in sun, rain, and snow... offering them opportunities for a wide range of experiences in the natural domain.
