Aiden and Kendall go to a wonderful school. I just love the projects they get to do there. The kids also love them and they both adore their teachers! We just had a culmination for both classes and I wanted to share their work.
Kendall’s class was doing a Unit on mapping. They did lots of work around the idea of mapping, but by far my favorite thing was that they built a 3D Portland! It was so amazing! They each created their own house and a landmark near their house. Then they made downtown, and then they made all of Portland’s great Bridges! It was beautiful!
Aiden’s class was doing a Unit on NW Forests. They had characters, and they also built a whole new sub development, that had lots going on and lots to learn with in this idea. They had lots of problems they had to solve…where do all the animals go, pollution problems, talking with an actual builder, and lots, lots more. The part I loved the most, was they each had an animal they did research on. A’s animal was the Saw Whet Owl. It was cute to see all he learned. They even got to dissect owl pellets, a very exciting day for the second graders!! One of the best parts was when Aiden got up in front of everyone and read his Saw Whet Poem! I was proud!
I LOVE being able to send my kids to a school that makes learning so hands on and SO exciting! They really have had a wonderful experience there. They’ve made great friends and have become really great little people over the last few years!
