First Week of School
We've had a fun first week in Explorer! Students chose individual mottos and also decided on our two class mottos for the year:
- Dare to try
- The times are changing and we change in them.
We glued and painted sturdy book boxes, and enjoyed a day on the Spit making ephemeral art inspired by Andrew Goldsworthy.
✨ Community Happenings
- Check out Finn River’s Events Calendar for lots of family-friendly fun!
- Something for all at the Field Arts and Events Hall
- Fungi Walk at the Dungeness River Nature Center

Discovery Class
In Fiber Arts, we often start each class with a story. Reading first thing not only sets the tone of class it helps to bring seasons, themes, or characters to life. Having the opportunity to transform what we read into a mixed media art project deepens understanding as we build skills. Students receive a different dimension to learning beyond just audio or visual senses by adding tactile sensory learning through creating art. Since art making is a tactile, and multi-sensory experience it helps expand cognitive processing and creative thinking.
