4th/5th Grade Career Exploration Projects

In the last two weeks of school, our 4th and 5th-grade students researched, compiled their results, and wrote a research paper based on the type of career they may want to pursue in the future. Then, this week they presented their findings to students in K-3. Way to go!

7th Grade Genius Projects

For the last few months, 7th-grade students have been researching an essential question. Some of their questions involved how art impacts childhood development, how reading and writing fiction influences science and tech innovation, why caring for and protecting endangered species is vital, and how music plays a role in mental and physical wellness. Students researched and presented their findings to peers. Well done!
