Last Friday the students did a great job working in teams to participate in all of our football/Superbowl activities. They are very capable of collaboration with one another and that is serving them well in some of our new Project Based Learning activities. On Thursday, several of our students presented their US Constitution group projects during our first school wide assembly. I was so proud to see them stand and speak in front of the whole school. This week they will be finishing their Science reteach lessons. Each student picked one of the mini-lessons about winter that we did in January and they have designed their own lesson and activity to reteach the concept to their classmates.
