Two high schoolers completed a wall mural last week during interim in the Makerspace Workshop that was based on a catenary equation project they did in Calculus class earlier this quarter.
A catenary, in mathematics, is a curve that describes the shape of a flexible hanging chain or cable. It is Latin for the word "chain."
The artists combined the St. Louis Arch (which is the catenary) with Van Gogh's "Starry Night." This makes a great addition to last year's geometric mural.
Due to the impending winter weather, The Fulton School will dismiss at 11:30 am tomorrow, Friday, February 15. Changes will be made in the schedule if necessary. The 123 Spanish Assembly and Moms’ Morning will still occur as scheduled. The 456 field trip has been cancelled. The shuttle will leave TFS at 11:30 am and will drop students at the Daniel Boone Library.
Game Night: At 4:00 pm this evening, the TFS Middle School basketball team takes on Churchill at home. Go Eagles!
Yesterday, the preschool and kindergarten students visited the high schoolers in Makerspace to get a first-hand look at what they created in last week's interim. Seeing our littlest students learning from our biggest makes our hearts full.
The smiles in the audience are a good sign that this improv skit was a good one. :)
