Robotics Week
These are images of our sixth grade robotics week.

Mr. Scott Cleland- visiting artist
    He is the man who knows all there is to know about the history of the alphabet and its fonts through the ages.  Mr. Cleland can write your tax bill in cuneiform with a stick and a "pillow" of clay, in hieroglyphics on papyrus paper with a feather pen dipped in ink, or in many ancient and modern fonts on handmade paper.  If you have the time, he could chisel the account into marble and gild it with a fine layer of gold leaf.
