Students in the second-grade classes have the opportunity to learn about the life cycle of a butterfly.   Students make diagrams of the life cycle and they watch real live caterpillers change from a caterpiller to cacoon to a butterfly; then watch as the butterflies are released. Many insects go through either complete or incomplete metamorphosis. The butterfly is an example of an insect that undergoes complete metamorphosis. This type of life cycle is marked by significant changes in the shape and structure of the insect.

Students in Judy Luther's 3rd-grade class had the opportunity to make Zentangle pictures.  Zentangle is a focused and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. It aids in the development of fine motor skills and it is also calming. The best part is that it turns out looking great! The students are fantastic Zentangle Artists!

Art City Elementary school has a student council.  Each year students in the sixth-grade have the opportunity to plead their case in front of their peers as to why they would be the best fit for the student council.  Before they get to the week of posters, students decide in their classrooms who they want to represent them.  The students nominate and vote for nine students in their class, after the class picks, the teachers make reccomendations and the students get permission from their parents.

We have a variety of posters encouraging all to donate and run.

This week Miss Wilzbach's second-grade class learned about what characteristics are. They learned that all characters have characteristics that make up who they are. They are on the outside and the inside. Outside characteristics are what a person looks or sounds like. Inside characteristics are who they are and what they have on the inside. Both kinds of characteristics are important because they make us who we are! ​
