Starting our last quest of the school year!

We are concluding our year with the Community Garden Quest, where together they will explore and experiment with the mysteries of growth—both in gardening, and within themselves! The first two weeks of this six-week quest will be spent learning plant science. The first challenge will bring them deep inside a plant, to the cellular level: building large-scale plant-cell models!

Exhibition Day!

On Thursday, parents attended an Eagle led exhibition that displayed what they learned and their best work this session! The Eagles set up the crime scene simulation for the parents. They were able to show the parents their knowledge in fingerprinting, handwriting, and footprint analysis! After, the learners read their stories that they have been working on from Writers’ Workshop! They ended with the little eagles reading their letters to the Easter Bunny!
