T-Shirt Design Proposals

The past several weeks, the PSG has been organizing a QSI t-shirt design contest.

All students participated and designed a shirt that they felt represented QSI.  When the students were done, then each class chose their favorite to participate in the final selection. 

Congratulations to Claire, Ilia, Addy, Cansel, Nora, Matteo, Eli, Ioanna, and Karoline!

The finalist was chosen by a representative from each level, two staff members, two parents, and Mr. Nelis. 

and, the winner is ….Nora Thurman!  Congratulations!

At the Fall Festival next Saturday we will have a limited quantity of the shirts for sale!! We will continue to sale the shirts throughout QSI and PSG events during this school year. 

Fall Leaves Fun

Level 6 Creating Mosaics

As an introduction to mosaic technique students from level 6 created interesting mosaic using foam shapes. These mosaics were a great way for students to explore pattern, design, shape and color Students learned that in order to make a nice and neat mosaic, you really need to plan for every tile where to add so that it will fit perfectly. Creating a mosaic is a great way to practice  patience, problem solving, strategic thinking, spatial visualization and motor skills. 

We also talked about traditional mosaics and how they were made from tiny squares of natural-colored rock. 

And on the top of everything, it was a fun experience!
