🌱🥕🍎 This past Friday, our Gators had a wonderful experience with Alachua Elementary’s Farm to School Program!

Students learned about food and farming, spent time having fun with friends, and enjoyed a delicious, nutritious lunch. 🥦🍓

Thanks to Food and Nutrition Services’ Farm to School program, our students explored the connection between farming, food, and good health in a fun, educational, and interactive way. 💚

We are so grateful for this opportunity to learn, grow, and eat healthy together! 🌽✨

🎨 The art room has been buzzing with creativity!

3rd Grade: Students reviewed ROYGBIV, practiced patterns, and explored showing space in their artwork by overlapping while creating beautiful rainbow masterpieces.

4th & 5th Grade: Students began their Artist Portfolios with a review of warm and cool colors. These portfolios will serve as their sketchbooks all year, supporting practice with the Elements of Art.

We are excited to see their artistic growth throughout the year!

Our Alligator Artists had a wonderful time exploring the Element of Art: Line with Mrs. Smith! 🎨🐊 They kicked things off with the story Harold and the Purple Crayon to spark creativity, then practiced making fun lines like scalloped, zigzag, and spiral. Students used these lines to create their own unique drawings and finished the lesson by decorating their art portfolios, which will be filled with masterpieces throughout the year! ✨🖌️
