Vandermont

💙💛

How about 4,5, and 6-year-olds learning radius and diameter? What a fun lesson- but it’s all being learned through them needing to build the ball-bearing turning apparatus for their display about community helpers they’re creating for a doctor’s office waiting room, which other kids can interact with! Listen to these conversations and the deep brain-firings for problem-solving and mental math!

So much goes into mapping out Quests (and the kids are very involved in the path of that) and making them rich with learning experiences! The learning and skills are visible and transferable to life skills to have for now and in the future!

Our 2/3rd level learners have been studying and working with a professional water table over six feet long and learning a ton about geography and land formations. They were passionate about this, so they wanted to create their own big water table so others could interact with learning. This young man showed me their 3d print jobs they designed on their own and are printing out to display his ideas and what he learned and was energized by to present on. He’s in second “grade”! We love what we do, and swing these kids to get such a rich learning experience, they are excited about!
