Genius Hour Has Begun!

Our students have spent this year learning through the inquiry process in Science and Social Studies. They have grown in their abilities to research and present information. Students have learned how to use questions to guide their thinking and to take responsibility for their learning. For our final inquiry, students are participating in Genius Hour projects where they are developing expertise in something new that they are passionate about. Projects range from learning to sew, to designing a comic book that raises awareness of animal rights, to creating a plan to reduce bullying on the playground. Check back next week to find out what they learned!

Lego Club Begins!

Some kids wanted to try building a Lego kit using directions. This kit makes a train. 
Aboudi asks "Mrs Pike, why can't we have Lego club every day?"
Keegan made a ship but he had to take it apart. 
Mohammad did not want to take his spaceship apart. 

Ali and Moamal made an airplane!
Free building using their imaginations!
Looking forward to the next Lego Club on Thursday :)
