Director’s Message
Hello iLEAD Agua Dulce Families!
I am so happy to be back on campus and with our amazing staff and learners. We had such a great time at our Halloween Parade and loved seeing such creative and fun costumes. In addition, it was so good to see our families supporting our school at the Scholastic Book Fair held in the Village.
We have many new projects launching this month, so please look out for the Project Design Guide and details from your child’s facilitator. Please remember, PBL looks very different from a traditional setting. This may lead you to have some questions. We are here for you and love to talk about all of the benefits that project-based learning brings. Please reach out to any facilitator or the office if you have any questions. Don’t forget that on the 11th we are closed in honor of Veteran’s Day.
Have a wonderful week!
Lisa Latimer, Director
High School Director’s Message
Dear Falcon Families,
Last week, we took a deep dive into talking about habits, why they matter and how they affect our lives. We engaged in various socratic seminars discussing the importance of self-care, the use of communication and being effective collaborative partners. We enjoyed playing the balloon game in advisory. Additionally, the process of storyboarding gave learners the opportunity to talk to their families about their Genesis Story. There is a lot of buzz in the classroom about the project build outs – which is wonderful to witness. This week, we will continue with our project build outs, the “My Story” assignments, exploring taxonomy and intersectionality of four ways to represent mathematical concepts.
Wishing everyone a beautiful week!
