Caine's Arcade Day: Get the Fun Pass...

in ,

On Friday students from Ms. Swan and Ms. Kennedy's classrooms celebrated Caine's Arcade Day. Caine's Arcade is a short film that documents the work of a boy creating a cardboard arcade at his father's auto parts store in Los Angeles. It celebrates the creativity of one child and the encouragement of his father and others in his community who support his creativity.

Students from Ms. Swan and Ms. Kennedy's classroom met in the school cafeteria to work collaboratively to create cardboard arcade games and then to play those games. It was an amazing creative event. Follow the Read More link to view some images from the event.

Today students in Mr. Colvin's classroom, under the direction of student teacher Erin Altz, used the map making skills they have been working on in class, to create a large scale map of Oregon on the school playground. Using a coordinate grid, they followed the directions on their paper maps to plot out their chalk replica. It was great to see this map develop over the course of the day.
