Dec.14: Gingerbread Decorating

I have a tradition of bringing plain gingerbread men into the class for the students to decorate, on the last day before Christmas.  Maybe we'll try houses next year!













Dec.14: Exchanging Christmas cards with buddies

Every Thursday our older Innovations classes take turns to help our class with their personal projects. Today the students made Christmas cards and gave them to their buddies.

Dec 14: The Legend of the Candy Cane

Before we make crafts with candy canes, I like to read this story.







Dec.14: Diella's PPP (Personal Project Presentation)

Diella presented on her research about zebras.  Did you know that they sleep standing up?








Terrific work, Diella!

Oct 29: God's Little Acre Field Trip

On Thursday, as part of our Global Project on World Hunger, we went to God's Little Acre. God's Little Acre is 42 acres of organic vegetables that are harvested for the local food bank.

We spent time picking carrots and then we had a tractor wagon ride and a trip to the pumpkin patch to select a pumpkin.

Thanks Jas and the staff at God's Little Acre! The students and parents had a great time!
