The school, as a whole gets into the the curriculum as much as possible. If fifth grade is doing one project that the kindergartners can help they do so. When I walked in on Monday there were state flags hanging from the ceilings in the hallway. It was neat to see all of the different flags and on the bottom of the flags there was a note that had when it was made and what state it represented. When walking the kids down to the gym for their "Robotics Dance" the guys were asking me "what flag is that?" every flag we walked past and asked me to tell them what it said on the flags. It was exciting how engaged kindergartners were from just walking in the halls. Another project the school is doing is making their own mail satchels out of brown paper bags from Kroger. We had to cut the bags and prepare them for the students and after awhile it got old and there were over 300 bags that needed to be made, but luckily we didn't have to do them all. Everyone was involved even the parents of the students. It's kind of interesting how excited and how much the parents are involved in this school.
A side note the "Robotics Dance" is an activity the school is doing where every class gets their own decade and dance. Our class is robotics, 1990 and all the kids were laughing and giggling about the dance moves and everything. Can't wait to see the rest of the school's dance.
