PTA Reflections Art Program

We have started our 2nd grade field trips to the museum.

Every 2nd grader in the district will have the opportunity to visit the museum for a field trip all about sculpture!

While here, the students will participate in a variety of activities. We will begin the field trip with a whole group discussion about sculpture. They will then split into 4 smaller groups and rotate through 4 stations. The stations consist of:

1. paper vase project
2. sculpture video with word search
3. scavenger hunt in the gallery
4. team building excercise- build a collaborative sculpture that follows specific criteria.

So far, we have seen the 2nd graders from:

Buffalo Creek

Bunker Hill

Cedarbrook

Frostwood

Hollibrook

Hunters Creek

Meadowood

Memorial Drive

Pine Shadows

We look forward to seeing the rest throughout the year!
