🌸 A big thank you to Ms. Yoko for visiting our Kindergarten classes and sharing a little piece of Japan with us! The students were thrilled to learn a few Japanese words, hear about the beauty of Japanese culture, and try their hands at folding origami. The crane, a symbol of honor, good fortune, and longevity, made this experience even more special! ✨ It was amazing to see their excitement as they carefully folded their paper, just like generations before them have done in Japan—a tradition that dates back to Buddhist monks bringing paper to the country. Thank you, Ms. Yoko, for bringing such a wonderful learning experience to our students! #moonschool #origami #japaneseculture

✨ Golden Touch in the Art Room! ✨ Mrs. Flanery’s 2nd graders just wrapped up an incredible visual arts project our very own King Midas Greek story vase! 🏺✨ We dove into the legendary myth of King Midas, explored ancient Greek pottery techniques, and watched how real vases were made using the black-figure style. Then, with steady hands and lots of creativity, students outlined and painted their designs, bringing the golden tale to life. The results? Absolutely stunning! 💛 Who knew a 2nd-grade art studio could rival ancient Greece?! 👏🎨 #GoldenTouch #YoungArtists #GreekMythology #MoonSchool #2ndGrade
