This week our 4th graders got to experience an artist in residence, Andres Liviola, through Engaging Creative Minds. Andres Liviola is a seasoned musician and educator who specializes in traditional African drumming as a lead member of WO'SE Drum and Dance Company. Science and Music standards were combined to gain a deeper understanding of energy. Students explored scientific concepts surrounding sound waves as an effect of energy being transferred from one object to another. Thank you to ECM and Andres for this great experience!

Fourth grade had an amazing time at Old Santee Canal Park. We learned about how the Native Americans of SC used plants, animals, and the land in order to survive. We made “No Face Dolls” out of corn husks that serve as a reminder to Native Americans to never think they are better than anyone else. We learned how indigo, a cash crop from SC during the 1700s, was cultivated for its dye. We were able to use some to dye a piece of cloth. We also toured the museum of artifacts from the American Revolution and checked out their wildlife while we were there.
