The Kindergarteners at NMC have been studying snow and snowflakes. This coincided beautifully with a math unit on shapes. They learned that when snowflakes are formed, the water molecules make a hexagon. They made hexagons out of craft materials and then added embellishments to create these amazing snowflakes!
The 8th grade Q2 Impressionism exhibit is up in the art wing. Come by and check out the paintings.
8th grade students, working with Mass Audubon, explored the Lime Kiln Wildlife Sanctuary. Through their studies, students connected classroom concepts to examples of climate change in their daily lives.
Fall Digital Photography students completed their final project: Long Exposure. Students were asked to create a photograph using slow shutter to show movement or amplified light. This process allows the artists to create a scene that the naked eye can not see.

This week, students at South Egremont followed coyote tracks and cracked/roasted Black Walnuts gathered in the Fall! Students designed a special place to slide down the snow and played a game about a weasel chasing voles through snow tunnels.
From Ms. Cooke:
"Once a month we get to spend part of our day with our beloved Flying Deer instructor in the nature surrounding our school in the village of South Egremont through a grant from The Berkshire Taconic Foundation and the Eagle /Janet’s Fund."
South Egremont students worked as teams of architects to brainstorm, collaborate, plan, sort, and build structures together. Children then presented as teams to the group!
Later this week they will be looking at plans from “Art Forms Architecture “ for real buildings to guide their own designs.
