Double Creek Museum

The students chose "Museum Day" for their December 7th theme day. They each brought an object from home and we learned about what kind of information is included on the signs identifying museum art and artifacts. After the children wrote up the descriptions, the third grade students typed the responses to share on the blog. We hope that you enjoy the museum!

Student F. 2nd grade

Gemstones

Advent calendar, 2022

Polished stones, ¼’’ to 2’’

I use these gemstones for magic a lot. My favorite is the tiger’s eye. Some of them are smooth, like the snowflake obsidian. Others are rough, like the desert rose.

 

Student M. 2nd grade

“Yust Go Country and Western” Record

Stan and Doug, 1971 

Vinyl, 12" by 12”

This is one of my Great Great Uncle's albums. He was very, very silly. He even wrote a song about lutefisk. I think his songs are really cool, and people who like comedy will enjoy them.

Student J. 1st grade

Mulkyshape

J., 2023, Oregon

3D Printer Filament, 3 1/2 cm tall/Y x 3 cm wide/X x 3 cm depth/Z

 

A cool shape that’s made of lots of other shapes.

I made it on my tablet by myself, then I 3D printed it with my dad.

I came up with the name Mulkyshape by thinking of things that rhyme with Multishape.

Student S. 3rd grade

Bullfrog Forest

Pencil on paper, 5x8 inches

It was inspired by frogs and meadows. I made it because I love forests and plants.

Student C. Kindergarten 

Kaleidoscope

Crunch labs, 2023

Plastic, 6 1/4 inches

I got it from a Crunch labs build box. It has a disk that you can draw designs on, and it helps you learn about why the sky is blue. A big question!

E. 3rd grade

Shadow Dragon Egg

Made in Oregon by E. in 2023, Paper mache 

8 and a half inches dragon egg.

This egg is from the species Umbra Draconium, meaning shadow dragon. In order for it to hatch you must repeat its name 4 times under the light of a full moon and a black candle.   It is poisonous.   The cure is a salve of thyme made from a moon stone mortar and pestle.           

Student M. 3rd grade

Mom gave it to me for my 8th birthday. It can change into over 72 shapes, it is fun to play with!

Student T. 3rd grade

Toy Car

1918 replica, Bell Systems 

Plastic and metal, 7cm x 14cm x 9.5cm

I got this car from my grandpa. My grandpa doesn't visit much so it's special to me. It is also a piggy bank.
