Ladybugs in the Classroom?
Bayfield High School is now equipped with 16 new document cameras. The Lumens DC 265 was purchased through a grant that Chantey Webbe applied for this summer. After taking a couple of graduate courses in technology, she was determined to acquire new tools for the classrooms at BHS. Due to the financial crisis, Mrs. Webbe was well aware that funding for technology was limited. After hearing about a possible eduction grant from La Plata Electric Association, she decided to take time out of her summer to apply for the grant. Fortunately, the grant was honored, giving BHS $12, 500. This amount allowed for 15 document cameras, 2 flip cameras, and hopefully one SMART board, although there currently is not enough funding left for the interactive white board.
Pinwheels For Peace Art Project
Bayfield Middle School art students have joined other schools from around the world to celebrate International Peace day by “planting” these pinwheels with messages of peace. Each student created their own pinwheel and wrote their thoughts about tolerance, war, peace, and living in harmony with others. This art installation project was started in 2005 by two art teachers in Florida, as a way for students to express their feelings about what’s going on in the world and their lives.
Last year there were over 3 million pinwheels spinning messages to the sky!
Imagine…whirld peace
In today’s world, peace needs to be more than just a word.
