Week 3

 Hope everyone had a great four day week.  These first 3 weeks have flown by! 

Thursday, we spent our PE time in the church's fellowship hall, where the Eagles got in some sweaty conditioning.  They worked hard on perfecting their squat form for the upcoming Eagle Olympics! 

This week, Eagles discovered new ways to learn Language Art skills. Through the use of online programs, fabulous mentor books, and their peers, Eagles are hard at work on Grammar, Reading, and Writing. 

They are currently drafting their memoirs, working on making simple stories interesting through their word choice. 

In art, Eagles have explored various materials.  They have created galaxies with pastel chalk and painted with watercolors.  

Studio Maintenance has been completely passed over to the Eagles. After lunch, Eagles take care of their space to the satisfaction of the Germ Checkers before going to Free Time. 

Eagles have broken the studio into 4 areas that are expected to be in pristine condition before leaving.  Miss Flo, the church custodian, complimented them for their fabulous cleaning! She was shocked the room (and bathrooms) were taken care of by young learners! 

A few afternoons a week, Eagles are split into Game Squads. The focus is FUN while learning teamwork, how to settle disagreements and improve social skills. 

I am blown away by the deep thinking and independence that happens each day in our studio! These learners are growing in their confidence to be independent learners, leaders and fellow travelers.
