Our students had an awesome day visiting the Atlanta Botanical Gardens while connecting art, language arts and science! While viewing the sculptures of glass artist, Dale Chihuly, students created alliterations, wrote Haikus, used persuasive writing and more while writing about the art they viewed. Students also took time to sketch and create drawings while viewing these amazing works of art! Of course we also connected science to our trip with all of the plants and even the poison dart frogs that students enjoyed seeing in the Fuqua Conservatory and Orchid Center.
