Fake Snow Activity at Fishhawk Creek
Today the kids at Fishhawk Creek participated in an activity where they created fake snow. The students were able to make different shapes with the snow, such as a snowman. To make the fake snow, they started by pouring equal amounts of cornstarch and baking soda into a bin. Next, they mixed the baking soda and cornstarch with their fingers. Then they added just enough water so that when they squeeze the mixture, it forms into a ball!
Penguins and Polar Bears at Fishhawk Creek
It is getting cold outside! Although it does not snow here in Florida, for this activity the students made snowy, arctic themed crafts. For the first craft, the students made paper penguin hats to wear. For the second craft, other students created their very own version of the arctic skies. They cut out a silhouette of a polar bear and pasted it onto a blank sheet of paper. Then the students chose the colors they wanted to use for the sky. Fun fact: Even though penguins and polar bears both live in arctic climates, they do not live together in the wild! Penguins are found almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere while polar bears live in the arctic circle in the Northern Hemisphere.
Holly Wreaths at Fishhawk Creek
The students at Fishhawk Creek celebrated the start of the holiday season by making paper wreaths. Wreaths are normally constructed out of twigs, leaves, or flowers and are arranged in a ring shape. These are typically used as decorations for Christmas. For this craft, the students cut the center out of a paper plate to create a hollow ring. Then they glued strips of green paper on and around the ring to mimic leaves. Finally, the student topped their wreaths off with a pipe cleaner bow to tie in the festive cheer!
Outside time at Fishhawk Creek
During outdoor time today at Fishhawk Creek Elementary students got the chance to play with their friends and burn some energy! Students made a snake by holding the hands of each other and moving around while keeping up with one another. They had fun being silly and enjoying time outside with their friends!
Students at Fishhawk Creek create their own Google Logo
Today the Fishhawk Creek Elementary students used their imagination to create unique Google logos based on famous graphic designer Ruth Kedar. Kedar is best known for creating the classic logo used by Google until 2013. The students learned about Kedar and her involvement with the logo then designed their own Google logo modification. The student's pieces were judged based on artistic merit, creativity and theme communication. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place students in each grade who scored the highest in these categories were awarded a prize.
