East Washington Academy High Ability Program

Students in Mrs. Bergrens and Ms. Miller’s high ability first grade classes learned more about the Underground Railroad, slavery, and the Quaker community by visiting the Levi and Catharine Coffin House this week.

Last week students in Mrs. Bergren’s and Ms. Miller’s first grade classes visited the MadJax maker space. We learned about being a life-long maker and then with help, made keychains using a 3d printer, laser cutter, and heat printer. It was awesome!

High ability students in Mrs. Bergren’s and Ms. Miller’s classes loved interviewing author Sarah Aronson today. It was fun learning about her profession and her book, Just Like Rube Goldberg. It was so much fun and we can’t wait to write our own books!
