Cape Disappointment

The Octopi and Creators' field study to Cape Disappointment and other points on the Lewis and Clark Trail was a smashing success. Three days seeing the sites and learning about the Corp of Discovery, two nights of camping together in yurts and cooking and sharing meals together. Then there were the s'mores, playing on the beach, checking out WW II bunkers and so many other great experiences. And the weather was perfect!

Matisse Meets Pollock

After all the hard work of ITBS testing the Octopi took a break with a little art work. First they learned about Henri Matisse's collages and Jackson Pollock's Action Painting and then they combined the two. Fun and very cool art work!

Learning About Hearts

The Octopi had a visit from two of our Seabury doctor parents to dissect lamb hearts. They learned the parts of the heart and how blood and oxygen are passed through the body. They also discussed how to keep their hearts healthy for life.

Tacoma Symphony

The Octopi spent a week prepping for their visit to the Tacoma Symphony Orchestra's youth concert and joined fifth graders from throughout the area at the Pantages Theater in Tacoma. The concert was really awesome and the Octopi went away with a better understanding of how composers write and the structure of an orchestra.
