D.A.R.E. Program is Here!!

D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education)

I am happy to announce that Office Beth Ballistrea will be visiting our traditional 5th graders to conduct the D.A.R.E. program. This will be an 11 week program, concluding with a graduation ceremony at the Aquatic Center on March 4th, 2011. Her first visit today was very successful. The students were attentive and engaged! We are looking forward to her next visits.

Final Resting Place

After 5 weeks, the 3rd year intermediate students have successfully mummified the fallen workers. They were laid to rest last week. It was a fun project for all involved!

Update on "the accident"

The 3rd year intermediate students are now in their 4th week of mummifying the accident victims. Here are some pictures showing their progress.

Come to Babylon!

The intermediate 3rd year students put on an awesome play about Ancient Babylon. The play was so popular that they needed to perform it three different times!

A bad accident at the pyramids!

Unfortunately, there has been a bad accident at the pyramids in Egypt! Eight workers have perished. The Pharaoh has requested that the 3rd year intermediate students mummify these poor workers so that they can be honored for their hardwork. This is a six week project. We are on week two....check out the pictures of these poor souls at the beginning of their mummification process.

What's Happening this month!

Intermediate First Year:
Social Studies: We are studying Native Americans and the first explorers to the new world. Some students have been creating Native American reports which include constructing a village of their tribe.

When we start learning about explorers next week, students will get to interact with a simulation. This will give them real-life experiences and how it felt to be an explorer.

Intermediate Second Year:
Social Studies: We are starting to learn about Ancient Civilizations which include India, China, Nubia, and Egypt. Students will be learning first hand how to make a mummy!
