Lower School Immersion is underway with a study of the land down under!  This week students began participating in mix-grade level workshops for innovative lessons about many facets of Australia. For example, in one classroom students learned about the Great Barrier Reef and then began building a reef of their own from egg cartons, while in another classroom, under the supervision of a teacher, students cooked and then sampled a traditional Australian soup. In still another class, the students were making ceremonial rain sticks. There is so much to learn. It's a good thing Immersion lasts a few weeks!
