Thinking, Creating, Reflecting: Impacting the Future

Upper School Highlights! Sept. 15 – Sept. 19

Sign Language Elective!

Monday’s Sign Language class was a good one! I kicked things off by taking attendance completely in sign language. It’s a great way to practice receptive skills! After a review of last week’s signs, we moved on to numbers and colors. We also learned about our “signing space” and “fingerspelling space.” We ended with a worksheet and a fingerspelling memory game.

A trip to Rockford Airport to learn about safety changes since 9-11!

Land of Lorcana Elective!

Lorcana is a great game that combines math, strategy, thinking ahead, patience, all bundled up alongside memorable Disney characters! Week 2 of Land of Lorcana saw us continuing to get familiar with text on the cards, exploring class-favorite character cards like Cruella De Vil, Jasmine, and Rapunzel, and more gameplay! Side note: how come I just taught Dylan the game, and he’s beat me both times we’ve played?!

Some of Julia’s art that she has made! They are all very unique and beautiful!

Learning about the Raspberry Pi 5 in the "Tech It Out" elective class!

Upper students had some great creations during their Art elective class!

Using a beach ball to ask Upper School students questions about their musical experiences!

Fridays are for PE at Rockford University, recess, and Lego car challenges!

Have a relaxing weekend!
