At last night’s Board of Education meeting, seven students presented projects from our Advanced Learners ELA Program. Second graders Tink, Grace, Josie, Nour, and Cora performed the readers’ theater script they wrote about a cave school in China, created after researching a school somewhere in the world that faced a challenge and found a solution. Sixth graders Lorenzo and Liam then shared their TED Talks, in which they synthesized the skills and themes from their unit novels and connected them to a broader issue or message relevant to our world today. Thank you to Ms. Matt and Mr. Vroom for all of the hard work you have put into growing this program for our students!

Our 2nd graders had a fantastic time exploring the Field Museum as an extension to their ELA Module on Fossils and Paleontology. The students had the chance to "meet" Sue and see the content of their books and studies come to life! A huge thanks to our teachers and chaperones for making it a great adventure!
