Comments

The Elevate Learning Project is a community centred collaboration of educators, community activists, entrepreneurs, and parents. Their vision is creating individualized learning experiences for each student, providing opportunities to explore concepts in a variety of ways, and teaching a sense of respect for oneself, each other, their community and the environment. They also strongly support outside learning, believing outdoor education and interaction with the natural world provides opportunities to develop positive relationships with the environment, others and themselves.

Each month our students learn about and practice a new virtue with December’s virtue being generosity. This week we had the pleasure of welcoming Marie Elana Roland, CEO of The Navigation Center - SC. Ms. Roland spoke to our students about the work that they do at the center as well as how we can help. It was so inspiring and we look forward to growing this special partnership.

After reading about the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in the book "Balloons Over Broadway" by Melissa Sweet, our students put on their own version of the parade! They planned together, created their floats, built a city, then carried their floats through as we all cheered and enjoyed their creations!

Today our students enjoyed learning about the significance of Veterans Day 🇺🇸 Our Upper Elementary class read “America’s White Table” and learned about the meaning behind each symbol, followed by a writing prompt, and a directed drawing of a soldier. Our Lower Elementary class discussed characteristics of a soldier, created Veterans Day books, and painted poppies. Thank you to our veterans today and every day. We are so grateful for you!

Yesterday was the first day of our Elevate Mentor Program! We kicked it off with the entire school buddy reading at the park 📚 Mixed age groupings, both within our classes and the school as a whole, produce many benefits for all involved. Providing opportunities to experience collaborating with others who are different than oneself allows children to practice the ability to be nurturing, patient, and helpful, as well as learn to appreciate diversity while eliminating unhealthy competition that comes from working solely with those of the same age and ability. We are excited to launch this program and see it grow throughout the year!

This month our students are learning about Native Americans. They have practiced symbol writing, built mesas and Pueblo homes out of clay on the beach, researched Native American history and geography, and today our lower elementary students broke into groups and made totem poles based on an animal their group chose together. We are all enjoying learning about this beautiful culture!

Teamwork makes the dream work! Here two students from our Upper Elementary class are working together on racks and tubes. The purpose of this Montessori work is to help the child understand the techniques of distributive division and to lead to abstraction. ➗👏

Welcome Leonardo! 🦎

The start of our new school garden and outdoor learning space is under way! When we are done we will have 8 raised bed planters for gardening as well as outdoor seating. This will be a great spot not only for our students to tend to their plants but also for families to hang out before and after school!🪴☀️

It’s a wet one this week but rain can be fun - and interesting! 🌧 Did you know…

💧Not all raindrops are made of water - On Venus, and other moons and planets, rain is made of sulfuric acid or methane. Even stranger: On a planet 5,000 light years away, scientists found raindrops made of iron rather than water.
💧The shape and color of clouds can help you predict rain - Generally speaking, if you see a cumulonimbus cloud (a tall, puffy cloud that looks flat at the top), or a nimbostratus cloud (a flat low-level gray cloud), you can be fairly certain that rain is in the 24-hour forecast.
💧There’s a reason you love the smell of rain - Water doesn’t smell like anything, so why does rain produce a pleasant aroma after it falls? Well, it’s because of a molecule, called geosmin, created by soil-dwelling bacteria. When rain falls, it creates air pockets, which contain small amounts of geosmin. The rain traps and then releases these air pockets, dispersing geosmin into the air, where it’s free to travel to human sniffers. The smell of rain even has a name: “Petrichor.”
💧It’s not actually “drop”-shaped - The “raindrop” designation is actually a misnomer, since scientists have concluded that rain is not actually shaped like a teardrop. When water molecules condense and bind together in the atmosphere before falling, they form a more-or-less spherical shape. As they fall, they encounter air pressure, flattening the bottom of the drops, so that they end up taking on a shape more like a hamburger bun.
💧Rain is money - In the African nation of Botswana, the currency is the Botswanan p**a. The word “p**a,” though, also means “rain,” and its use as the name of the primary currency demonstrates just how rare and precious rain is in this sub-Saharan country.
