Heart Art in Full Color at Palmyra Elementary! 🎨💘

Love and creativity are in the air in Mrs. Orr’s art classroom this Valentine’s season!

Kindergarten artists explored the work of Pop artist Jim Dine, learning about the recurring themes in his art—especially his famous heart imagery. Students created their own expressive Pop Art hearts inspired by his bold, playful style. ❤️

First grade students studied Jean-Michel Basquiat, focusing on his powerful symbols and recurring imagery, including his iconic crowns used to represent strength, importance, and celebration. Their crowned heart creations beautifully reflect these meaningful ideas. 👑

Third grade artists explored oil pastel blending techniques and color layering while creating vibrant, concentric, tie-dye inspired hearts full of color and creativity. 💜

Mark your calendars, many of these pieces will also be featured in our upcoming Pop Art Glow Show during Night of the Arts on April 20th! ✨

We love seeing our young Panthers share their creativity and heart through art! 🧡🖤

What a special day in 2nd grade! ⚾🧡🖤

Ms. Kroeger’s class enjoyed a surprise show and tell when her brother, Jacob— a pitcher in the Atlanta Braves organization—stopped by to visit, answer questions, and share about baseball before heading to spring training in Florida.

To top it off, each student received a signed baseball and sent Mr. Jacob off with plenty of cheers and good-luck wishes for a winning season ahead. 👏✨

Does the density of snow impact how much snowmelt is produced to help battle drought conditions? And why do Expo marker drawings float on water? ❄️🔬

Our Integrated Science students and Mrs. Brass set out to answer these questions as they explored the concept of density through hands-on investigation and discovery. From testing snow samples to observing floating marker art, Panthers put science into action while building curiosity, critical thinking, and real-world connections. 🧠💧
