Research Projects
The Intermediate students chose a topic of interest from their grade core competencies. They learned how to take notes, organize their notes, form paragraphs, edit, publish and present their work. The projects were creative and informative! Great job!
Social-Emotional Learning
This term, we will be learning about Zones of Regulation. We will focus on naming our emotions and positive self talk.
Letter Writing
We are learning how to write letters using the date, greeting, a body, a closing, and signature. We used this format to write letters to Terra Breads to learn more about how they distribute extra bread to our local community. Over spring break, they wrote us back! It was fascinating what we learned!
- Did you know Terra Breads donates 10-15% of all the bread they produce every day?
- Did you know that walnuts turn the bread purple during the sourdough fermention process?
Thank you, Terra Breads, for writing back to us and teaching us more about your products.
Circuits
One of our students led the class in a lesson on open and closed circuits. They provided the supplies and instructions to build models to demonstrate how circuits work in a fun way. We appreciate the thoughtfulness and leadership shown! (See video clip of the models in action – we hope it works! If not, there is also an image to view.)
