We were fortunate to experience the performances of the Native American dancers today.
Mrs. Hanini's class has wrapped up our Community Project-Based Learning (PBL) experience with a fantastic project: creating a detailed brochure about American Falls. Throughout this journey, our students have worked collaboratively, showing dedication and creativity as they explored what makes our community unique.
Together, they researched and identified interesting facts about American Falls, from its history, to local landmarks. They also explored the area’s climate and its impact on the community, ensuring their brochures are both engaging and informative. Along the way, they developed a deeper understanding of what a community is and how we are all connected within it.
We were able to distribute our brochures about AF to the city hall, post office, sheriff’s office, library, and court house.
Our STEM Ambassadors went into the classrooms today and did a mini Engineering group activity today. The students had a blast learning how to collaborate and revise their engineering process!
