This week in art, students learned about adobe architecture and the lines and shapes found in many adobe buildings. We looked at pictures of local buildings around San Luis, Costilla County, and in northern New Mexico, and students drew adobe building landscapes using the lines and shapes we've been studying. 2nd and 3rd grade were also able to use classroom supplies to try and recreate an adobe-style building in groups for a fun STEAM project!
Tomorrow we will try our hands at mixing up our own adobe and making bricks. Students loved seeing pictures of places they see every day in our community, and many shared stories about the adobe buildings on their own family properties! Please enjoy a small peek into how talented our students are!

Good morning Ram families. Here are the schedules for Fall sports. Show your support for your athletes and athletic teams!
Dear Parents,
The Blanca/Ft. Garland Community Center has a Flag Football and Tackle program and would like to invite your kids to participate in this exciting sport. Available grades to play are from 2nd grade to 6th grade. We are working on possibly getting 12year old to 13year old eligible to play as well. If you would like them to join, come out to the fort garland park for practice starting today Monday the 19th at 5pm. Hope to see as many kids as possible!
You can shorten it if you, just need the grades and practice time put on it. Thank you.
Paul Quintana
