"Fifth graders worked diligently throughout the months of September and October learning and researching a vital explorer from the Age of Exploration era. They learned about the courageous men who went into the unknown to learn more about our world and changed the knowledge of mankind. After reading and researching, students worked in groups to promote teamwork and commitment to their individual reports on a famous explorer. They wrote their own scripts, presented a skit, designed props, and created informative poster boards/visuals to educate grades three and four about their explorer. This explorers unit encompassed common core standards in informational reading, social studies, writing, and our school's ESLR'S values. Students presented well-written scripts filled with creativity and effort."  Ms. Marjorie

Grade 2 students were given an independent investigation project over the Christmas holidays in which they had to research an animal of their choice. Subsequent to selecting an animal, students were required to come up with three questions about their animal. There was an additional bonus question from the teacher and each pupil was tasked with illustrating their animal in its environment and completing an arts and crafts collage. Furthermore, students got to dress up as their animal when presenting fun facts they researched in books and online.
