Welcome to 9-A!

We met with our 6th Age Buddies on Monday! The girls brought in their favorite holiday stories to share with their buddies. We had lots of fun reading together and wishing each other a fabulous Winter Break!

In history we learned about many items that were invented in Ancient China. One of the most important inventions was paper. Mr. Howe came to 9-A last week to help us make some paper of our own. In honor of Spirit Week we made green paper from blue and yellow pulp.

Last week the entire Ninth Age traveled downtown to The Walters Art Museum. We saw the Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome exhibits and then enjoyed a studio experience where the girls had the opportunity to design amphorae. Then they used scratch paper to create their designs. While pictures were not allowed during the museum part of the trip, they were allowed in the studio. Here are a few shots of the girls designing and creating their masterpieces!
