Dear Families,
It may have been a week late, but our Costume Parade and parties were spooktacular! The learners had a great time showing off their creative costumes, and the parties were definitely enjoyable. Thank you to all who participated.
We have some amazing projects in full swing throughout the classrooms. Please be sure to thoroughly read the Design Guide that each facilitator has sent home. If you ever have any questions regarding the learning process or components of the project, please reach out to your child’s facilitator. We understand that project-based learning (PBL) can be confusing at times, and we want to ensure that you feel confident with the learning taking place each day.
Driving Questions:
- TK/K: How can we use performance to share culture?
- 1st grade: How do the three states of matter affect my life?
- 2nd grade: How can we as zoologists create and maintain sustainable habitats?
- 3rd grade: How can we take care of our environment and inspire others to help?
- 4th grade: How can I balance my analytical and organizational skills to better my writing?
- 5th grade: How can we use data to reduce our families’ impact on the environment?
- 6th grade: How can learning about the birth of democracy give me the tools to become a contributing citizen in society today?
- 7th grade: How can we make learning fun and still use our scientific knowledge to create a healthy and helpful garden? (DQ created by the learners).
We hope you have a wonderful week!
Warm regards,
Lisa Latimer
