Happenings at Clark

Fourth Grade Plays the Drums

Clark Fourth Grade has been practicing African Drumming and Rhythms with the help of parent, Kevin Munro.

It is particularly nice to drum outside on warm, spring days.

 

Third Grade Trip

Clark third graders visited the Virginia Museum of Fine Art in early April for a guided tour on Ancient Greece, Rome and Mali.

The students viewed artifacts that are thousands of years old, and engaged in questions about trade, geography, symbolism, architecture and much more.

Doctor Seuss's Birthday

To celebrate Doctor Seuss's birthday and to celebrate reading, Clark School faculty and staff dressed up as their favorite storybook characters on March 2.

 

2nd Grade Quest Visits the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts

In February, second grade quest students visited the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts to view the special exhibit "Mummy Secrets of the Tomb."
The exhibit featured a 3-d movie about an ancient Egyptian priest, Nesperenub and his mummy.
After the movie, students were able to view Nesperenub's sarcophagus and other ancient Egyptian artifacts.

Content Night

In January, students and parents enjoyed dinner and special hands-on activities at Content Night.  The activities included Roman mosaics, Ooblick, State Walk, Egyptian cartouche, African drumming, and much more.  

States of Matter

In December, members of the UVa Lead Chemistry Team demonstrated physical and chemical changes for our second grade as part of a unit on states of matter.

Sock Hop!

In November, students gathered with family and friends for a night of pizza and dancing at the Sock Hop.

Students also bid on fabulous prizes such as ipod shuffles, or lunch with a teacher, using tickets they earned in class.
Thank you to all who helped make it a night of fun!
