Upper Elementary Blog - Early Spring 2017
Hello Abintra community! We are excited to bring you updates from the Upper Elementary classroom, directly from us - the students!
We have been enjoying fun activities this month!
Our classroom recently received a life size human body that you can take apart and put back together. You can make the body female or male. This model helps us see how the parts fit inside your body and how everything comes together.
You can often find students researching projects together. Some topics we're researching are the human body, ancient civilizations, Tennessee history, the Middle Ages, and animals across the globe.
In art, Nashville potter Caroline Cercone has been working with us on making clay vases and pitchers. We also have the opportunity to work with clay freely.
Rebekah Allen, award-winning playwright based in New York and sister of Office Manager Emily, visited our classroom to lead a workshop on building and developing characters for stories.
The Upper Elementary chorus recently performed songs from around the globe for Abintra students and parents. It was inspiring! Below is our performance of "Over the Rainbow."
We are so grateful to the families who donated old bikes for us to take apart and put back together. Soon we plan on using the parts to create custom bikes!

We are just starting to rehearse our spring play, Midsummer Night's Dream. Students are involved in all parts of the process, from stage managing and set building to costumes and acting!
