As always, it has been a busy week at Carolina Day.
Here's just a sampling of some of what you might have missed.

Bill Brittain, a Carolina Day School fan, visited with the third graders last week. Mr. Brittain is a well-known author of children's books and entertained and enlightened his audience with stories about his long career as a professional writer.

Bill talks about The Wish Giver, a novel that earned him a Newbery Honor.

Lucas May, a Key School fourth grader, proudly displays his "castle" cake. The fourth graders have been studying Europe in the Middle Ages and the cake was his project.

The sixth graders and their first-grade buddies were entertained with some Egyptian dancing last week.

The pre-kindergartners got to experiment with the parachute in PE classes just recently. It was a "first" for most of them.

 

 

You know what real excitement is? Watching the Key School second graders fire off their volcanoes. The students have been studying volcanoes and each second grader got to build one as a class activity. The third graders were invited to witness this explosive event.

 

 

Third graders Miles Murphy and Peyton Baer play Tic Tac Toe (Ta Te Ti) in Spanish class while studying about the rain forest.

The second graders have been studying westward expansion and the Oregon Trail. Each student built his or her own covered wagon and experienced some of the rugged life of the pioneers.

And it must be time for the annual Lower School Family Dance. Sharon Fox, the former PE teacher, has been back on campus this week teaching all lower school students the latest moves. They are preparing for the February 10 big event. Sharon is working with the fourth graders in these photos.

Lower School PE teacher Jake Southern shows he knows his stuff!

And that's music teacher Jane Corbin with the boys.
