Creativity Reigns at Davis Academy

Davis Academy was bustling with creativity this past year!  Check out these amazing projects that tie in with their readings.  Thank you Stacy Brown for submitting these wonderful pictures.  We can't wait to see what you'll do in 2017!  (As a fellow Book to Art Club member who enjoys creating culinary art projects, I'm now wondering if I can pair these mud cupcakes with butter beer!)

We read "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" by J.K. Rowling to kick off the year.

We read "The War That Saved My Life" by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley and did finger knitting, since knitting is a way that they give to one another in the novel.

We also read "The Book of Scavengers" by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman and made secret messages out of code.

Today we are discussing "Fuzzy Mud" by Louis Sachar and are making fuzzy mud out of slime.  We don't have pictures of that just yet, but we do have pictures of our mud cupcakes that we will be enjoying.       …
