Today, our 2nd graders used materials to enhance their creative thought processes during Story Workshop. They created a fantasy setting where rivers flowed with "gems" instead of water and 3 princesses ruled the land. Our kids LOVE to write!

We had a wonderful day at the Woodlands Landscaping Solutions Event on Saturday, 9/24. Our students educated many people about how we can work together to improve the quality of our local water. They did a demonstration to show how lawn fertilizer, w**d killer, pesticide, and dog waste end up seeping into our underground aquifers. When it rains, they mix together in our local waterways. Most of this polluted water then ends up in Galveston Bay. It was messy, but very educational and lots of fun!

Today in yoga, the students practiced a 5 senses meditation to ground their bodies in the present moment. They also learned about Ahimsa, a practice of kindness or non-harm toward ourselves and others. They did several rounds of Hugging Breath.
Tree pose served at the focus of their physical practice.The students played a few games with Tree Pose, which encouraged connection, kindness, focus/balance, and fun!

In our Engineering Design Camp this week, our campers have learned to build robots, use code to program them, and design rockets that fly high up into the sky! We are so impressed with their creativity, collaboration, and problem solving skills. They are an amazing group of kids, and we are so thankful for the opportunity to get to know them.

We had an exciting week at Science Camp! First, we met with Mr. John Carey, our snake expert from Jesse Jones Park. Next, we met with Ms. Lisa from The Woodlands Honey Company. Finally, we met with Ms. Teri MacArthur from The Woodlands Township Environmental Services Education Dept. We learned how to identify venomous and non-venomous snakes, bees are very intelligent (and lots more!), and we learned about local animals and their visual and auditory adaptations.
Tune in next week for more fun in our Design Engineering Camp!

Lego Stories Camp was a huge success! The students used the creativity generated with Lego building to come up with some absolutely amazing stories! Luckily, this camp was before the TX heat set in so we were also able to enjoy some outdoor play time.

We had an amazing celebration on Friday as students presented their research projects and reflected upon how they have grown as learners and friends. We are so proud of the huge amount of effort each of our students demonstrated every day, and how much they have accomplished this year!
