Sixth grade students in Mr. Lee’s Dillsboro Elementary School class created their own 3D solar system models! While students were allowed to be creative in the materials they used, they needed to properly scale the size of their sun, planets, and Pluto. They also included in their solar system models the Main Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter and the Kuiper Belt that houses Pluto and lays far beyond Neptune.
Stellar work, students! 🌟

Mrs. Ewald’s first grade class at Dillsboro Elementary School embarked on a creative journey to explore cultural connections through art! Students discovered the significance of animals in various cultures while honing their observational drawing skills by crafting intricate feather designs. By experimenting with lines and vibrant colors, they seamlessly wove elements of art into their unique creations, blending imagination with cultural understanding. 🪶

Mrs. Espich’s fourth grade students at Dillsboro Elementary School took literary analysis to the next level through collaborative book club discussions. Divided into small teams, students read chapters together, with each member taking on a specific role—analyzing the plot, diving into character development, or exploring new vocabulary. This teamwork fostered critical thinking, deeper comprehension, and a shared love for reading. 📙
