In Ms. Jennifer’s Kindergarden Art class we had students create strong emotional tableaux one at a time while the rest of the class sketched them in as detailed a way as they could.

Ms. Jamie's 2nd grade students continued their exploration of tablueax and sequencing through chapter 11 of Fantastic Mr. Fox.

When the first graders learned about different types of shelters, we created scripts as a class to demonstrate that knowledge. Here is the script about igloos from Ms. Andrea's class.

When Ms. Jamie’s 2nd grade ELA classes began reading Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl, students used the character traits in the text and our knowledge of how body centers help actors create characters to find the physical bodies of Boggis, Bunce, Bean and Mr. Fox.

Kindergardeners at ISL used group tableaux to demonstrate their geographical knowledge of places within the first floor of our school.
