🌟HHS: French 4 students took an immersive field trip to the cave of Lascaux of France! 🎨
Although we didn't physically travel to France, students embarked on a thrilling simulation where they explored the wonders of Lascaux cave.
Students have been learning about prehistoric France and wanted to witness the amazing cave art. Inside the 'cave' students read a play about the accidental discovery of the cave by four teenagers in September of 1940. 📚🏴☠️

🎨 Art students at Oakwood started school with an exceptionally fun and challenging drawing activity last week!
Students were instructed to draw an object as a team with two rules:
• You can't touch the marker - only its cap
• Everyone has to help (work as a team)
In all the classes, students immediately started pulling the strings and coming up with unique and creative ways to solve the problem all as a team. Some teams chose to stand up, some chose to move the paper, some choose to use the cap only touching the cap to draw. 🤩
In the end, classes discussed synergy, creativity thinking, problem solving, and just creating art without the expectations of it being perfect. ❤
Mrs. Penrose's favorite part was no one gave up and everyone thought about drawing different for a few minutes! 🎨
Great work everyone! 👏👏👏

During the first few days in the classroom, students are often learning expectations and getting to know their teachers.
Today, we had a heartwarming experience visiting Ms. Terra Murphy's 2nd grade class at Oakwood while SHE learned what her students want from her this year. ❤️
Ms. Murphy has been teaching for 30 years, with the most recent 25 being with HPS. We are proud to have such caring and dedicated teachers on our team that care about students with their whole heart, teaching them many things -- both inside and outside of a text book. ❤️🏴☠️
