Pottery Wheel Activity
The students just finished reading the novel A Single Shard by Linda Sue Park about a young potter's apprentice in 12th century Korea. In the novel, the young apprentice, consigned to menial tasks, yearns to learn the ancient art of celadon pottery. The students had the opportunity to try the pottery themselves, and they found out that it is a lot harder than it looks

Middle East Video Project
The students have been studying North Africa and the Middle East in geography. Each student chose a country to research in depth. The students then wrote a report on their country and put together travel videos using "blue screen" technology and Final Cut Express to virtually insert themselves into their countries.

Heifer Project International
The 5th and 6th grades have teamed up to raise money for the non-profit organization Heifer Project International. The money that they raise will contribute to the purchase of animals for families who struggle with hunger and poverty. For more about Heifer Project International, check out their website: http://www.heifer.org. To help with our fundraiser, the Passino family generously offered to bring in two of their goats for the afternoon, and, for a small donation, Tandem students could get their picture taken with the goats.
