ENDING THE YEAR ON A HIGH NOTE!

SAIL's been busy this month with various activities to keep our brains challenged and our curiosities engaged.  

We analyzed the poem "Bear In There" by Shel Silverstein.  We looked for alliteration examples in the poem and created our own. We finished the lesson by making an origami bear.    

Students at Village are working on prime and composite numbers.  They're writing down a number's factors to determine if it's a prime or composite number.  

5th Graders at Narragansett are working on a special project for Mrs. Sawyer's Social Skills class.  They are creating a Stop Motion video about careers.  

Students at Great Falls participating in the SAIL Study and Research Lab.  They are working hard to investigate a curiosity as they fill out their Discovery Slips.

SAIL STUDY AND RESEARCH LAB

This month SAIL is excited to launch our SAIL STUDY AND RESEARCH LAB block in all three elementary schools! Our researchers will have an opportunity to study a topic of interest from our SAIL Curiosity Page. I can't wait for them to share what they have learned!

Resilience

This week we talked about RESILIENCE. There is a resilient star in all of us. We will let our stars shine in SAIL.

We can't wait to start "SAILing" away on new learning adventures.

HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!

This year has been an adventure! I'm so proud of all our students' accomplishments. Have a wonderful summer!

Did you know that stained glass windows were used in place of words during a time when many people couldn't read?

 One of our Fascinating Friday classes focused on the history of stained glass windows and how they were created. The students were given the option to make one themselves.   Here's a picture of a Village student's beautiful window.
