The fourth grade students at Vernon Elementary School have been very busy. 

Lilla Brown's math class made hexagrams -- six pointed stars.  They were given a blank sheet of paper, a compass and a ruler and asked to create the hexagrams themselves.  They decorated their work with artwork of their choice and labeled them accordingly. 

Montez Harmon's class added a little horticulture to their learning.  They painted a flower pot with their own artwork, and then added potting soil and a plant to top off their creation.  The students learned the benefits of the potting soil, the plant's need for water and sunlight, and the correct depth to plant.  The students got to take their creations home to share with mom, just in time for Mother's Day. 

Bettie Smith's class also had their moms in mind when they made cards and door hangers to present to them for Mother's Day.
