Biddeford students stayed busy in December with Lego coding, art lessons with Amy Bartlett-Goodness of Mill Studio Arts, and math and literacy lessons using gingerbread cookies. Students also enjoyed a visit with University of New England students who led a SEL lesson on emotional regulation.
Portland students wrapped up an engaging unit on submersibles where they got to practice ocean floor mapping. They also completed series of lessons on cooking and nutrition. Finally, they enjoyed visits with the passionate staff from Maine Audubon.
Saco students wrapped up their Go2Science unit on kangaroos and are looking forward to selecting another engaging unit. They learned about winter holidays around the world by “traveling” to different countries, exploring their cultural traditions, and completing related crafts.
Waterboro students recently wrapped up a Go2Science unit about Indigenous history on the Maine islands. Through hands-on activities, maps, stories, and guided inquiry, students examined different artifacts discovered on site and tried to determine their age. This unit helped them build a deeper appreciation for the ongoing presence of Indigenous communities in Maine.
