Third graders at Showell Elementary School celebrated the end of their first ELA module, The Sea, by bringing their learning to life through a hands-on squid dissection! Students examined a real squid to explore how living things are adapted to life in the ocean, making connections to science standards and how learning ties together across subjects. #WeAreWorcester

What a wonderful start to the week at Buckingham Elementary School! The leadership team's walkthroughs today included a few stops to share some Books from the Backseat with students, and little Levi was very persuasive as he not only had our superintendent hop with him on the trampoline, but he took a turn behind our camera, too! #WeAreWorcester

BIS students in Mrs. Hudson-Lahr's art class are learning about color and form by creating these large 3D papier-mache letters. Students used tactile and visual texture when creating them and also used positive and negative space to determine where to apply the papier-mache. The construction emphasized structural design, while the decoration of the letters focused on color and patterns. #ArtsAreAliveInWorcester

These amazing (nearly) life-sized sculptures are being completed in Ms. Riser's art class at SDHS. Students are exploring the elements of form, texture and color. The three-dimensionality and detail are remarkable! Great work students! #ArtsAreAliveInWorcester
