Our youngest learners are out exploring! Who wouldn't like to listen in on the conversation with "Science Man Rich" as they sit still & listen, wonder and ask questions? And how about sharing in their excitement as they walk all the way out to the Tunnel Tops Playground!

Who has a campground within walking distance of their school? Our HS students figured it out, took action and went camping as part of their introductory weeks! We know these kids will benefit tremendously throughout the school year from forming such strong bonds early on!

If you think young children are the only ones enjoying kite making, think again! These HSers responded to the challenge! With some hands on creativity, good efforts and a few dance steps along the way, they succeeded! Pure fun! And a whole lot of learning occurring along the way

Monster Arc Exploration may also look like this: Read out Glad Monster, Sad Monster, act out emotions with masks from the book, before brainstorming your own list of emotions. Continue researching masks from around the world before you get to work making your own messy versions!
