This is going to be hard for me to resist and hard for me to forget. Lucas
This quote brings so much warmth to my heart. These words were spoken by Lucas during our worm dissection with the wonderful Mrs. Grotjan and Miss Robison. Lucas’ words embody the essence of Reggio inspired, project based learning and what our goal here is at the Lab School- facilitate a love of learning. Today, our studio teachers gathered small groups of friends to engage in a detailed worm investigation that included a dissection. It proved to be a fascinating and captivating experience for all involved! Tomorrow, more friends will participate in the activity. I can’t wait to see what about the investigation interests them and what observations will come. More documentation on this incredible experience is coming.

Mrs. Clark
Today, the kids and I had a conversation about next week. Next week, I will not be at school. I will be traveling with 2 others from our school to visit Portland, Oregon. We will be spending our week at The Opal School in Portland. We are taking this time to see a school that is similar to ours in beliefs and teaching styles. I am excited to see what is happening out there and be able to bring it back to our classrooms!
While I am gone, Heather Williams will be teaching in our classroom. She is in our room daily so I have full confidence in her and the fact that our classroom will be completely normal. She knows our schedule and has wonderful relationships with all of our kids.
If you need anything during the week concerning school please call the front office. I will be checking my email, but not on a constant basis.
Please let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to sharing my learning when I return!
