In early April, parents and community members attend Vermont Day School’s annual all school project-based learning share. This was a wonderful time for students to showcase their learning from their latest STEM and Global Studies projects. In the morning, students shared their work with each other, allowing older students and younger students to visit each other’s classrooms and celebrate their work. In the afternoon, parents, board and community members were invited to visit the spectacular classroom exhibits.
The k/1 class was transformed into a museum of Inuit artifacts. The 2/3 class designed a Maker Market, selling their creative wares. The 3/4 students applied their learning about architecture and the Medieval Times to compose historical fiction stories, play their characters, and build a life sized Medieval village. The 4/5 class was transformed into a galaxy where visitors could learn about fascinating elements of outer space. They also exhibited their own quotes and paintings inspired from their unit on civil rights. The 6/7 class used their unit on social justice to create their own socially responsible business ideas. All in all, the students’ work was impressive!
