🌟 Visual Arts Class Takes a Trip into Van Gogh’s World! 🎨✨
Our Visual Arts students had an unforgettable experience in Atlanta, Georgia, at the Van Gogh Immersive Experience! 🖌️💛
From stepping inside Van Gogh’s breathtaking paintings to taking a VR journey through his life, students were completely surrounded by his artistry and story. The trip sparked amazing conversations—both during and after—about what they saw, felt, and learned. The excitement didn’t stop there! The next day, they shared their insights and favorite moments with classmates back at school.
🎭🎨 This field trip was more than just a visit—it was an artistic adventure that brought history, creativity, and inspiration to life!

Exercising our brains and our bodies! 🧠💪🏼
Mrs. Hallman's 2nd grade class is bringing math to the real world! After working on some exercise math problems involving adding multiple two-digit numbers, they created their own workout complete with minutes for each exercise, and totalling up their minutes. Then they partnered up to do each other's workout!! The kids enjoyed some extra outside time as well as showcasing their exercising skills and their math skills!

🌥️☁️ CHS Tigers Making Clouds! ☁️🌥️ The CHS students in Ms. Selestok's and Ms. McNeal's class have been studying weather and different types of clouds! ⛅️🌦️ To bring their learning to life, they decided to make their own clouds. How did they do it? 🤔💨 By using a jar, warm water, ice, and a little hairspray, they created a cloud in a jar! 🌡️❄️💨 The warm water created water vapor, the ice cooled it down, and the hairspray provided tiny particles for the water droplets to cling to—just like real clouds in the sky! 🌎✨ Great job, Tigers! 🐯💛🖤 #CHSTigers #ScienceFun #CloudCreators #WeatherExplorers
