Grade 2 has a Passions Padlet and a Life Skills Padlet. The children are choosing tasks to enhance their skills. The summer is a great time to pursue their own learning goals and passions!

Library: Ms. Goldie and students had great discussions about food & travel and art appreciation. Library is a place of inquiry about anything and everything. We also had tons of fun in the Food and Travel clubs. Senior students have looked at some amazing living human art that recreate famous masterpieces of Caravaggio and the real story behind Mona Lisa’s fame.
