Guests wowed by creativity and ingenuity on display
Math geometrocity: Students demonstrated their knowledge of geometric shapes by creating their own city using only graph paper and colors. The city plans shown above are for the fictional town of "Boy's Village" created by Tyler Riggle.
Museum replicas: Students researched museums around the world and each group selected one museum to replicate. Archer Boomgarden created a replica of the French art museum known as The Louvre.
Biography in a bag: Students chose a historic figure to research. The resulting biography included date of birth, major accomplishments, and a photograph. Inside the bags were key parts of each individual's life.
Animal habitats: Students created dioramas of wildlife and their habitats using a shoebox, clay and other mixed media materials. This diorama done by Joie Helseth featured a peacock, a kangaroo and a green sea turtle.
On Monday, May 24, fifth grade students at New Rockford-Sheyenne School proudly displayed their projects in a special year-end showcase. The event was organized by fifth grade teachers John Christiansen and Becki Schumacher, and also art instructor Erin Radke. Family and friends were invited to see fantastic projects in the subjects of science, math, writing and art. It's been a great year as a fifth grader, and I think we all learned how to think a little more outside of the box.
