Thank you again to all families who volunteered to belay in the gym last week!
We had eight or nine adult volunteers every day. It made a huge difference for the children! Instead of lining up for long periods children were able to climb everything they wanted to and every child challenged him/herself to attempt new challenges. I witnessed the transfer into the classroom when children displayed more confidence and became greater risk takers e.g., in reading, writing, and math. Our Adventure Education is tied directly to what happens in the classroom and makes a visible positive impact on student learning!
Lisa and I took lots of photos. Instead of choosing just a few, I found that I can post them all. We hope you enjoy them!
First you will see some of the amazing scientific drawings children did of their mealworms. These will be housed in student portfolios.
