On May 21st 6th graders presented their Google Virtual Reality projects at a conference called Dynamic Landscapes. Dynamic Landscapes is a conference that showcases the innovative use of technology in classrooms.

Grades K-4 worked on this collaborative project. We first studied the artist Dale Chihuly, whose medium is glass. We spent a couple of months collecting plastic drinking bottles. Students in grades K-2 peeled labels and then painted and cut the bottles into simple forms. Students in grades 3 and 4 cut more complex forms and assembled the bottles into their final configuration.

Jordan Romero, the youngest person to climb the seven summits, visited Barre Town Middle Schoolers on Friday, May 3rd. Jordan climbed Mt. Everest when he was 13, and finished his 7th summit at the age of 15.
