Greetings Pinney families!
This is the time of year when parents and teachers begin to think about what is ahead for our students in the 2014-2015 school year. A hard copy profile sheet will go home with each child
(grades kindergarten - 4th grade) on Tuesday, April 1st. An electronic version will also be sent via
email on Tuesday. The profile sheet is a helpful tool for the school to gain better insight from you
about your child(ren). I will collaborate with this year’s teacher to help place students in the ideal
classroom for next year. I encourage parents to fill out one profile per child. All forms are due on
Thursday, April 17th.
Please check out the enclosed calendar with the many exciting
events going on over the next two months. It’s always a busy time
of year, but very fun and exciting for the students, parents, and
staff!
Good luck to our staff and student dodgeball teams this Friday night
at Dublin Scioto HS. The event starts at 7:00 p.m., so come join the
fun and root on the Panthers!
Go Panthers!

• Students may not enter the building until 9:00 a.m. daily.
• Be patient in the pick-up line at the end of the day. Cars need to remain in a single file line to
pick up students. Also, please drop off your child at the sidewalk or side door in the morning.
A Pinney staff member will monitor the side door beginning at 9:00 a.m. daily. We do not want
children walking through cars and/or traffic. Student safety is our priority.
• Give the buses the right of way during arrival and dismissal. No cars in the bus loop during the
following times: 8:45-9:15 a.m. & 3:15-3:45 p.m.
• Call the office or the automated attendance line (718-8960) if your child is going to be absent
or late. Please send in a note if your child is signing out early for an appointment.
• If your child is going to be absent from school, we would appreciate a phone call before 9:30
a.m. of that day. Ohio state law does require us to now have a written note upon a child’s
return to school after an absence of any kind. An absence form can be found in the downloads
section of our Pinney website (Absence Notification Form). We would appreciate your help by
sending in this form or a note explaining the absence upon your child’s return to school. It is
also important that you know that absences due to a family-planned vacation are no longer
excused absences.
• All phone number changes should take place at the building level. Please do not call the
district office to change your contact information. Please call the Pinney office for questions
(798-3570).
• Send in a note if your child’s end of the day arrangements change. Without a note, we will
follow typical end of day routine.
• Both students need a note giving parent permission when bringing home a friend. New “Note
to School” pads can be picked up in the office.
• Write your child’s first and last name on the inside of lunch boxes, backpacks, jackets and
other items so that we can return them if lost. All lost and found items will be donated to
Welcome Warehouse at the end of each trimester.
• The archived “Pinney Post” can be found in the “Newsletters” link on our website.

Clinic Communication with Mrs. Slack & Mrs. Pagan
Clinic Communication
The Dublin City School District has developed policies to help insure the health and safety of all
our students. These policies have been developed in direct correlation with the recommendations of both Nationwide Children’s Hospital and the Centers for Disease Control. It is even more
important that parents familiarize themselves with these policies and adhere to them as we
move into the time of year when flu and other contagious illnesses become more prevalent.
Please take time now to review the following information. If all of our parents follow these policies, we can reduce illness and absences for your child.
• It is important to keep any child home exhibiting signs of illness. Signs of illness include fever
of 100 degrees or higher, vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat, chills, irritability, or unusual skin rash.
Other signs of illness are red and crusty eyes, as well as, other symptoms that are unusual for
your child. If your child has been home ill, they must be symptom free without medication for
24 hours before returning to school. If they have been placed on an antibiotic for a contagious
illness, they must be on the antibiotic for 24 hours before returning to school.
• Please remember that parents are responsible for supplying the school with any medication
(prescription and over-the-counter) that needs to be given during school hours. The appropriate
forms(s) must be completed for clinic staff to be able to administer the medication. Prescription
and non-prescription forms are available on the district web site at www.dublinschools.net or
from the clinic. The clinic staff is happy to help you determine which forms are needed for your
child.
• Please make sure to call the school if you change phone numbers. This information is vital as
we often need to contact a parent(s) if there is an injury or illness. When listing someone as an
emergency contact, please make sure it is a local person who would be able to pick up an ill
child.
• Remember that cough drops are considered a medication. They must be kept in the clinic and
must be sent in with a non-prescription medication form that has been completed by a parent.
Students are not permitted to carry cough drops with them during the school day.
• When leaving a message on the attendance line, please provide any symptoms your child has
such as student's temperature, cough, sore throat, headache, muscle aches, vomiting, diarrhea,
etc. Please also include if your child has been seen by a doctor or travelled abroad.
Please feel free to call the clinic and speak with the
clinic aide or school nurse regarding any questions or
concerns you have. Thank you for your help keeping
all of our students healthy and safe this season.

News from the art room...
Below is a brief description of what the different classes have been working on in
the past few months. Each grade level is exploring a different big idea and creating
art that demonstrates their thinking, learning, reflecting and creativity.
Feelings, Memories and Art...relationships
This past trimester, the first grade students created a piece of art
that connects feelings, a
memory, and art. The
students began this lesson
by discussing relationships
they have with others.
Friends, family members,
and classmates are a few of
the examples of the people
these students focused on.
The students looked at
artwork by contemporary
artists such as Yin Jun and
Takashi Murakami. These artists incorporate emotions in their
artwork and provide a good example of how artist express
feelings and emotions. The students then created abstract
designs to align with a series of different feelings. The purpose of
this task was to try and visualize which is not visible. What does
angry look like? What does happy look like? After this short
exercise, the students began thinking of someone special in their
life that they have a special memory with. This project had three
parts to it. The first part was to create a small ceramic sculpture.
This sculpture could have been either an abstract sculpture to
represent the feelings the student had about/during the memory
or it could have been a small sculpture that depicts a part of the
memory. The next part was to create a magazine collage that
features various images and words that connect in some way to
the selected memory. The last part was to create a drawing of a
part of the actual memory. In the end, the students had three
parts to this project and all of them are connected to the same
memory they selected with the special person they chose to focus
on.
What would you create?...community
This past trimester, the second grade students created artwork
that explored the heroes and villains of a community. All year,
these students are exploring the idea of community and what it
means to be a part of a community. For this lesson, the students
focused on the actions of heroes and villains that are present in
every community. The heroes of any community help others,
provide friendship, and do what is right. On the other side, villains
can hurt others, think only of themselves, and show little effort to
help others. The students
began the lesson looking
at contemporary artists
that deal with themes of
heroes and villains, as
well as the emotional
responses one has to
these heroes and villains.
The students spent
some time completing a
short exercise thinking
about what actions
heroes and villains do in
our community. The students learned about exaggeration as a
way to add interest to an artwork, while also drawing attention to
a particular feeling and/or action. After some brainstorming, the
students began to create their artwork. Students created artwork
about actions they see here at school, actions they have been
directly a part of, and actions they wish would happen when stuck
in certain situations. Every second grade student created a
thoughtful piece of art that addressed the many heroes and
villains that are a part of every community.
Coding With Scratch!...communication
This past trimester, the third grade students were busy creating
their very own video games or animations from “Scratch.”
Scratch was a coding program created at MIT and is a free
downloadable program that teaches kids the process of coding.
To begin this lesson, the students brainstormed ideas for games
or animations using storyboards. They had to think of characters,
setting, plot, and purpose of the game/animation. From here, the
students were ready to head up to the computer lab and begin to
code their ideas. The first step
was to play with the program.
Through this play, the students
were able to learn some of the
tricks and actions that would
help them along the way. Once
they had a chance to play with
the program, the students were
ready to begin their own coding.
The students did a great job
learning this process. Some students were able to create simple
games or animations, while others were able to create more
complex games and animations. Keep an eye out for an
instruction form to access and view these amazing games and
movies from home. For more information on coding and to see
what others are saying about coding, check out Code.org.
Understanding Others...identity
This past trimester, the fourth grade students created visual
metaphors to represent someone special in their lives. The
students began this lesson by looking at contemporary artists that
use visual metaphors in their work, such as Agnes Martin and
Thomas Friedman. The next step was to select someone special in
their life and conduct a short interview
with that person. The purpose of the
interview was to get to know the other
person and learn more about who they
are as a unique individual. The
students then brainstormed ideas that
reflected the interviewee’s identity
through various metaphors and
symbolism. Once the students had an
idea, they began creating the work of
art. Some students created the art
work in two-dimensions, while others
went with three. The students did a
great job creating a piece of art that demonstrates visual metaphor,
symbolism, critical thinking, and creativity.
Creativity Spots...leadership
Today, learning takes place everywhere. So why should we think
learning only happens in an isolated classroom? The purpose of
these creativity spaces throughout the school is to provide more
learning spaces for students to practice and apply their learning to
various situations that require critical thinking and creativity.
This year, the 5th grade class is working with Mr. Blair, Mrs. Riley,
Mr. Lowe and Mrs. Howell to rethink the common learning spaces
at Eli Pinney Elementary School. The 5th grade class spent time
researching spaces and thinking of ways to transform the common
areas.
The Process
To begin, the students created design firms in art. These firms are
based on student interest, passions, and individual skill sets. The
first task was to come up with a name, logo and slogan for their
design firm. The next step was to create a three-dimensional
billboard advertising their creative talents. Once this initial
challenge was completed, the students looked closely at the
design process and how artists and designers use this process to
solve problems and pose new questions. The design firms then
were assigned a space in the school to transform. First, they
looked at the space and what it offered with regards to lighting,
flow, audience, and other important details. Next, they began to
brainstorm possible ways to transform the space and possible
activities to take place in the space.
The Activities
The activities are all experiences to exercise creativity. Each space
will present an activity that allows for divergent thinking, while
practicing skills that are essential to all academic disciplines across
all grade levels. The activities will also dictate the way the space is
physically transformed.
The Space
Once the activity was thought of, the space was ready for
transformation. Working collaboratively with classroom teachers in
math and science, the students used this time to apply their
learning to actual situations that require the type of skills they are
developing in all academic content areas. Students measured
spaces for paint, created scale models in art, created a budget,
researched furniture, and engaged in many other authentic
experiences to apply their learning.
The Presentation
The final step of the design process was to meet with Mr. Ehrsam
and a panel of experts to hear the final presentation from each
design firm. Each day the panel featured different guests. In
addition to our “in-house” panel, we had Kim Clavin, the Director of
STEM initiatives for the Dublin City Schools and Kelsey Cyr, the
Visual Engagement Coordinator for the Columbus Museum of Art.
Each firm had 5-10 minutes to present their research, cost
estimates, ideas, and miniature models to the panel for
consideration. The panel then made a judgement based on the
firms presentation, if their space is approved or denied, and for
what reasons. This presentation provides an authentic experience
for students to assimilate their research into a formal presentation,
while empowering the students to act as teachers and experts in
the art and design field.
Examples
One example of a space may be a digital animation space. This
space might have a table, task
lighting, exercise balls for
movement, a small tripod,
and some modeling clay. The
space would also have some
directions, rules, and
challenges for each user of
the space. A group of
students might use the space
to create a short animation of
a concept they learned in
science. Another group might record their answer to the question,
“what does empathy look like?” The space may be used in a
variety of ways for a variety of purposes.
Another example might be a box of white legos and a challenge board. The space may have some bean bag chairs to relax and think, a
dry erase board to plan and design an idea, and a bin full of white legos to express their solution to a given question. The space may have
some floating shelves to display creations. A question in a space like this may be geared towards a specific discipline (design, build, and
time vehicles to compare and contrast their speed down a ramp or design and build an invention for the playground) or interdisciplinary
(design and build a sculpture that shows excitement or design and build the ultimate classroom.) After completing each task, the students
can post a little sticky note next to their work to explain their idea. Other students can post new questions, comments or challenges that
others can build upon as well. It will be a living, breathing, interactive learning space.
Students that are more right brained or students who need hands on manipulatives to inspire their work may use this space to its fullest
potential. Each creativity space will be flexible and adaptive to meet the needs of all learners. It will be an exciting way to bring our
students and staff together and begin to establish a creative, collaborative, and innovative school culture.
The Future
This project is beginning as a 5th grade class project. Once these 5th grade students leave, these spaces will be turned over to any
interested classes to act as curators of creativity. Any class can select any space and curate an activity. The class would have to think of
the activity, purpose, its tools and materials, and the protocol for the space itself.
The 5th grade class will get the spaces up and running, but then the responsibility to maintain the spaces becomes that of interested
students and classes. The sky is the limit for these creative spaces. Imagine the power of learning once we break down the physical walls
of learning to open it up to the whole school. Seeing different perspectives, thoughts, and ideas will empower each and every student to
think, create, and imagine in a whole new way.
A Desk Just For You...the challenge project
As a part of the Challenge Project, the students explored the question, “Who are you?” This question helps the students to think
of others, learn about empathy, and promote a deeper understanding of other’s identity. To begin this lesson, the students looked at the
work of Shantell Martin. Her work focuses on thinking about others and creating artwork that expresses her thoughts on other people and
places. The students also had a great conversation about why thinking critically about others is an important skill in life. To begin the
lesson, each student wrote something interesting about their own identity on a sheet of paper. Being winter, we decided to crumple the
sheets up and have an indoor snowball fight. The students then grabbed a snowball and tried to figure out who wrote the message on the
snowball. This act of finding the author began the process of thinking about others in a more critical way. Once they found the author, the
students started a conversation based on the statement written on the snowball. Students made new connections, laughed, shared stories
and enjoyed their time getting to know the author. As a class, we discussed how learning about
others changes how we interact with others, how it opens doors to new friendships and helps us
see that there is much more to a person than just what we see. This conversation lead them to
their next art project.
The students used the conversation they had with the author of their snowball to
inspire their next art piece. The challenge was to redesign a desk. The purpose of redesigning a
desk was for the students to see that an object as simple as a desk can be designed for the user
and not assume every child thinks, learns and acts in the exact same way. Desks are designed
to be a “one size fits all,” type of object. Yet, as the students learned earlier, each and every
person is unique and every experience someone goes through changes them. This lead us to the
question of, “why then, are desks all exactly the same?”
Taking this question a step further, the students were charged with the task of redesigning a desk that better suited the person
that authored their snowball. The students based their design on the conversation they had with the other student. This empathetic act of
redesigning something as simple as a desk exhibited a great deal of thought, critical thinking, and creativity. The students utilized the
design process as well as revising, testing and refining their desk design ideas.
In the end, each and every desk design was created specifically for a student in the class. Each design paid careful attention to
the personality, experiences, and passions of the desk user. The students looked at the question, “who are you,” and designed and created
a desk based on the complex answer to this timeless question.
This simple act would be great for any group of people. FInd a person you want to know more about. Then select an object
familiar to everyone. Redesign this object in a way that better suits the needs of the user you learned about. Take something as simple as
a chair. How would you redesign a chair to better suit someone special in your life?
Physical Education * Ms Hathaway
The second trimester has flown by! The older students finished their basketball unit in late
January. Since then, they have been engaged in an Acrosport/Gymnastics unit. Within this unit, we
combined many different components: balance, jumps, landings, strength building, climbing, swinging,
rhythm, and tumbling. The students had multiple climbing and swinging opportunities: the climbing
wall, the cargo net, the climbing rope, and the swinging rope. To build strength, the students used
scooters, a pushup mat and medicine balls. For balance, students were encouraged to hold individual,
partner, and team balances, as well as use balance beams. We also used the beams for movement,
poses and invented tricks using balls and hoops while crossing the beam. Jumping and landing is always a favorite of our students. While jumping off platforms, the students displayed different body
shapes and spins and applied proper landing technique.
The younger students have had a busy winter as well! Throughout January, we worked on
proper rolling and throwing technique. With the help of Mr. Alexander, a student teacher from OSU, the
students completed a striking unit. Within the striking unit, the students started with simple tasks such
as striking a balloon with their hands and other body parts. We then added an implement, such as a
paddle, and asked the students to complete challenges. As the striking unit came to an end, the students were striking in many different sport settings like: tee ball, football place kicking and punting,
hockey slap shots, putt putt, volleyball serving, and soccer. The students have just begun a modified
Acrosport/Gymnastics unit as described above. They are loving the climbing, swinging and jumping!
All students will be participating in a fitness and jump rope unit this spring. I’m looking forward
to getting everyone outside to PLAY!
