End of the Year

The field trip aboard the Adventuress benefited from very cooperative weather! Thanks to the sun and fair winds, we were able to comfortably learn more about the environment of Bellingham Bay and our watershed, marine biology, navigation, and seamanship. Thank you to all the parents who helped make this field trip a memorable one.

We also wrapped up our live, online video presentations of Where in Washington. Our students got to present clues about our school's location using knowledge of our local history, geography, civics, and popular activities. They presented live, online, to over one hundred and eighty students from six other Washington schools. They also took notes while the other schools presented and then dove into library and online resources to try and solve the mysteries of their locations, as well. They correctly located five out of six mystery schools. Not bad!

We are staying focused on the learning these last few days. Please help your student be prepared for our last set of learning presentations, next week. The students will share their learning about Washington State history in a series of team presentations to the whole class, using technology for their visual aids. They will also present their book recommendations to small groups, with visual aids.

Our last class activities will be organizing student portfolios, Field Day, sharing our Yearbooks and sharing at our last Class Meeting.
