A COLLABORATIVE PROJECT

SAIL teamed up with ELL and Alt. Ed for a Family Traditions Project.  Some of our SAIL friends on their remote class day shared in this in-person class.  We read The Name Jar written by Yangsook Choi. 

SAIL Students Striving for Success

Here are some highlights of our SAIL students' work.  

A Great Falls student shares her final project about the government.

A Great Falls student completed the Bryony's Triangle math challenge to find the fraction of the tiniest triangle.  

"Once there was a snake who lived with his snake family and he was the hero of the woods! He protected the mice and squirrels from the other snakes who wanted to eat them. One day he had a fall from grace and started eating all the mice and squirrels. The next day he redeemed himself. He found a stash of peanuts and kept them all for himself. Then he realized that all the hungry mice and squirrels needed them so he shared the nuts with everyone."

- A Village student used the theme, Fall from Grace, to enrich his main character while writing his narrative.
