“School of Fish”

This one’s called a “School of Fish”. This is a S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) project that includes collaboration among all classes in all the grades. The students learned about many different types of species of fish as you can tell by all of the various species in the building. It’s literally a school of fish going from very small fish to various species of whales. Students learned about watershed concepts and how pollution is affecting many of the different species. Students then created three-dimensional sculptures of their fish which has become this large collaborative hanging in the school. 

 

Art and S.T.E.M. = S.T.E.A.M.

Ascension Christian Art Instructor Terry Farrell showcases the work done by students at the elementary school in the most recent S.T.E.A.M. project.

This STEM Art project required students to examine some of the foods that they commonly eat like candy bars and potato chips. The students had to literally compare and contrast and analyze the nutrition details on the backside of each product and construct a three-dimensional sculpture out of it. The students’ work was created and displayed in a “Concession Stand” presentation at the school.

It Started with ONE!

Ascension Christian Elementary student Lauren Swanson had an idea to bake goodies to sell to friends to help raise money for those impacted by Hurricane Harvey. She baked and sold goodies not only to her friends and family, but to her schoolmates and teachers. She raised over $1600 selling cupcakes and marshmallows on a stick with sprinkles and chocolate. Lauren’s plan is to partner with Household of Faith church to deliver gift cards to people in Houston.
