5th Graders Study Birds in Art and Science

Tandem 5th graders have been studying birds, both in science class and in art. Science teacher Cindy Cartwright led the students on a virtual visit to campus bluebird boxes (5th graders track bluebird house activity through the year) as well as checking in with their fish tank and tulip planting project (t fish will be moving to Cindy's with campus closed and the tulips have mostly been eaten). In the bluebird house check there were 3 nests and 5 bluebird eggs. There was a nest near the basketball courts, a nest with a hidden egg in a painted box near field house and soccer field. and 4 eggs in a nest near the garden. In 5th grade art, teacher Julia Sapir has the students learning about and drawing birds found in Virginia. Check out the beautiful works by Maya Schlesinger and Hayes Buppert.
