Fine Arts Friday!

At SVN we end the week by celebrating the arts.  We call it Fine Arts Friday.  Each week students and staff can share their musical talents with the entire school.  This Friday third grader Sidney played a holiday song.  Our school band, Eric with Problems played us out as we left the school morning meeting area.  What a wonderful way to begin a Friday!

Winter Dance Recital

Students who attend Scuola Vita Nuova have many opportunities to participate in the fine arts. Students have the ability to take dance class once a week at SVN.

Tuesday, December 6, Ms.Drummond the dance teacher held SVN's winter dance recital. Here are some video clips of the third grade and fourth grade dance students performing.

Gardening in the winter?

This year the third grade is in charge of coordinating our school gardens.  Our first job this school year was to harvest our winter vegetables and weed the plots.  It was a lot of fun and a lot of work.  We harvested white radishes and broccoli.  We cannot wait till the spring when we can begin planting new vegetables!

Our Second Publishing Party!

Monday, December 6, third grade hosted their second publishing party. We wrote personal narratives. This was our second personal narrative. Take a moment to look through our pictures.

Museum Safari at the Neslon Atkins Museum of Art

Wednesday, November 17, 2010 the third grade went on a field trip to the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art.  We took part in a studio workshop.  When we arrived at the museum we looked at sculptures of animals from Asia, Europe and even Ancient Egypt.  We even saw a real mummy!  After our tour we went back to the studio and created our own animal sculpture.  Take a moment to look at our pictures.
