In science classes with Mrs. Christine Torlina, Pre-Kindergarten students used their imaginations (and butterfly wings!) to become monarch butterflies migrating to Mexico for the winter, stopping to visit flowers and milkweed plants on their journey across campus.

Last week in science classes with Mrs. Christine Torlina, Grade 3 students harvested produce from the Three Sisters Garden planted last spring. Unfortunately, the corn didn't survive, but thankfully, there were carrots to harvest instead! 🌽🫘🎃🥕

The Three Sisters Garden connects to the theme of "Our Land, Our People" for Grade 3, during which they study our changing landscape, migration and movement, our state and region, and Indigenous Peoples.

's second annual canoe build was smooth sailing! ⛵

Experienced instructors from the Urban Wilderness Program spent this week on campus teaching and guiding our Grade 5 students as they dove headfirst 💦 into building a beautiful 15-foot skin-on-frame canoe. 🛶 The finished canoe will stay anchored in Next House until the Grade 5 Challenge Day activities in April, when the class will portage the vessel for its maiden voyage.

The Grade 5 canoe build project is made possible through the generous support of the Nicholson Family.

Forsyth’s Grade 5 students completed the second annual canoe build!
