Letters, letters everywhere!
Pre-K3 students are studying the letter “k.” They were tasked with forming the letter using items from their homes or yards. What items can you make the letter “k” with? #WeAreSaintJamesSchool
Color Wheel
Third graders created color wheels using items in their homes. Ms. Pelham, our elementary art teacher, was so excited to see so much creativity from her students.

AP Art Student Portfolios
By Evelyn Shoults, AP Art teacher:
To close out each year, I like to honor our AP Art students with an AP Art Exhibition in an off-site gallery with a reception. Since that was not an option this year, we’re taking the AP Art Exhibition online! I am truly proud of all of my AP Art students for their dedication and commitment to their artwork. They have worked and continue to work tirelessly striving to elevate their technique and skills for their AP Studio Art Portfolio Exam in May. I am excited to share their work with you. You can view their work by clicking the link below:

Virtual Pictionary
#WeAreSaintJamesSchool
By Diane Buckner, 6th grade math teacher:
One of my students’ favorite activities in Vocabulary class was playing our version of "pictionary." Students would take turns going to my SmartBoard and drawing an illustration of a unit word. The class would figure out which word the student was drawing. Now, with our remote learning, we have come up with a new way to "play" with our words. The students pick a word from our 20 word unit, draw an illustration of the word, and write a sentence that would use the word. Once I have approved their drawing then the rest of the class can see it and comment on what word they think is being illustrated. It keeps the class connected, we still "play" our review game, and now the parents can see their students work as well!
We are all different, but all beautiful!
Did you know that no two snowflakes are alike? Just like the beautiful snow flakes that glisten in winter, each one of us is unique. Our differences make us special and those differences should be celebrated! Before spring break, during counseling enrichment, Mrs. Gibson lead students in an activity to demonstrate how we can value our own uniqueness and respect differences in others. We need to remember this today and everyday!
