Our third graders had an amazing opportunity to become animal experts and share their knowledge with their peers, parents, and staff! After conducting in-depth research, they created detailed reports, eye-catching slideshows, and creative dioramas to showcase the animals they had studied. Each class presented their projects, and guests from other grades, parents, and staff came to explore the incredible displays. The students beamed with pride as they shared fascinating facts and stories about their animals. It was a thrilling and educational experience that highlighted their hard work and enthusiasm!
Today, I had the opportunity to shadow one of our Student Interns, Dianet, and gain insight into the valuable experiences she has while working with the students. Dianet plays an essential role during lunchtime, helping to create a positive and organized environment for the students. Beyond that, she has been actively involved in supporting the students' learning and creative projects.
One of the highlights of the day was seeing the students' art project, which was part of their ongoing lessons about winter and historical survival techniques. With Dianet's guidance and support, the students worked together to build two igloos using newspaper and glue. This hands-on project helped the students learn about the history of indigenous groups, such as the Inuit, who traditionally built igloos as winter shelters. The students gained insight into how these groups used the igloos to stay warm and protected in harsh, cold environments.
Dianet not only helped facilitate the construction of the igloos but also assisted with painting and decorating them. Her hands-on approach, along with the collaborative efforts of the students and staff, made the project a success. It was clear that her support and encouragement contributed to the students' confidence and excitement as they worked together to bring their igloos to life.
Overall, shadowing Dianet today gave me a deeper understanding of the invaluable role that Student Interns play in fostering creativity, teamwork, and learning in the classroom. It was inspiring to see her build strong connections with the students while contributing to their educational experiences in such a meaningful way.
Our students from Melissa Davis' class had the opportunity to spend an entire day at Challenge Sonoma in Jack London Park. They stepped out of their comfort zones, participating in activities like climbing trees 50 feet high, navigating a ropes course, and engaging in various team-building exercises.
