🚜 Ag in the Classroom! 🐄🌱

We love giving our students opportunities to learn beyond the textbook! 💚💛

Ag in the Classroom brings agriculture to life through fun, hands-on learning experiences. Our students get to explore where their food comes from, learn about farming and agriculture, and discover just how important agriculture is in our everyday lives.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who helps make these experiences possible for our students! 🌽🐷🚜

Today in elementary art, our students took time to learn, reflect, and remember September 11, 2001. Through this special art project, students used their creativity to honor the people who showed incredible courage, kindness, and strength that day.

Art gives our students a meaningful way to remember important moments in history while expressing their own thoughts and feelings. We are so proud of the thoughtfulness, respect, and creativity our young artists showed today. 🇺🇸❤️

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

🎨 The Spin Art Table Is Ready! 🎨

Our 11th & 12th Grade Art students have been working hard designing and building a spin art table using donated supplies. Today was the big test—and it passed with flying colors! 🎉 (Pun Intended)

The table is officially ready to host many young artists and lots of creative projects. I am so proud of the teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving our students put into making this happen.

I can’t wait to see the amazing artwork that comes from it! 🖌️✨

🎨 What’s Happening in The Art Studio @ 38! 🎨

We have been busy creating, learning, and exploring in the Art Studio this year! Our young artists have been learning about the Elements of Art, and so far we have focused on two important elements: LINE and SHAPE.

Students have been discovering that lines can be straight, curved, zigzag, thick, thin, wavy, and so much more! We have also been exploring shapes and learning how artists use geometric and organic shapes to create interesting artwork.

Our students have been putting these elements into action through hands-on projects while practicing creativity, problem-solving, and making their own artistic choices. It has already been a fun start to the year, and we are just getting started! 🖌️✨

Stay tuned to see what our talented Joppa Maple Grove artists create next!

Grace • Grit • Growth • Creativity 💚💛

The Junior Ag Entrepreneur class has been working through types of businesses, the last two days they've been playing a scenario game (similar to monopoly) to better understand investing shares into other businesses. They've had a blast with this.
