Mrs. Safford was recognized as a teacher of the year by the "Just Serve" newspaper. We love Mrs. Safford! Congratulations to her!

Art City's fourth and first grade classes teamed up to share what they have learned about rocks in CKLA! The first grade is starting their unit, so it was fun for the fourth graders to be able to share their new knowledge and the stories they wrote!

Art City fourth grade students had the opportunity to go to the Museum of Ancient Life on February 5th.

Art City fifth grade students held their annual wax museum on Friday, January 16. Students dressed up as influential people from United States' history. Some of the characters included Babe Ruth, Helen Keller, James Naismith, Amelia Earheart, Dr. Seuss, and Lillian Disney. All Art City students, as well as 5th grader's families, were able to walk through the museum and stop and listen to the "famous person" tell a little about themselves and their history. Art City has been doing the wax museum for over 24 years. The wax museum gives students an opportunity to read biographies, learn how to write a research paper and create a slide show presentation about their character. Students have fun dressing up, and teachers enjoy seeing the efforts put into the characters.

Art City second grade students have been learning about the Westward Expansion. This quilt shows some of the things that they have been learning. Students learned about covered wagons, steamboats, the Trail of Tears, the Transcontinental Railroad, and the American Buffalo.
