K/1 Students Present City & Town Models
As their culminating project on Cities & Towns, the K/1 class took parents and classmates on a “City Tour”. Here, we had the opportunity to visit and learn about the model cities & towns that they designed and built. Each city & town model included both places that are “needs”, as well as “wants.”
Design Project with Burton Snowboards
For our Spring CLIC week (Create, Learn, Innovate, Celebrate), students worked on a week-long design project with Burton. The challenge was to improve a snowboard prototype from a visual, technical or marketing perspective to make it more appealing to young riders. Students working collaboratively in groups to design a new prototype, which they presented to Burton representatives at the end of the week. Their ideas were very creative, ranging from light-up snowboards to snowboard/ski combinations to snowboards with collectible charms!
Ancient Egypt Museum Gallery Opening
As a culmination of their inquiry into Ancient Egypt, students studied a topic of interest and created an exhibition of learning, which included hand-made artifacts, written explanations, and audio clips with QR codes.
Force & Motion at Work
As part of their Transportation unit, K/1 students have been learning about force, motion and energy in STEM. Here, they are using race cars and a track to investigate how friction impacts motion.
April 4th-8th- Spring CLIC week
During our Spring CLIC (Create, Learn, Innovate, Celebrate) week, students will work on a week-long project with Burton Snowboards. Burton will present students with snowboard prototypes and challenge them to improve the prototype from a technical, aesthetic or marketing perspective. This is a real-world opportunity for students to put the design process in action and apply their creativity, collaboration and problem-solving skills. We can’t wait to see their proposals!
