EARLY CHILDHOOD/LOWER SCHOOL NEWS

Fall Enrichment Clusters Coming!

The popular Lower School Enrichment Cluster Program returns to Shannon Forest on Friday, October 3.  1st through 5th Grade students will have the opportunity to learn a new skill or explore a new interest through special classes taught by Shannon Forest teachers. Enrichment Clusters offered will include: Culinary Crusaders, LEGO Building, Tie Dye Sensation and Native American Culture, just to name a few.  Classes meet from 1:15 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.

 

 

1st Grade students learn keyboarding skills with interactive classroom technology.

 



An "Egg-ceptional Balance Egg-speriment" made for an entertaining Science lab for 3rd Grade students.  Students went through the scientific method to find out if an egg could be balanced upright on a flat surface.  A mound of salt was placed under the egg and then the excess was blown away.  The egg was left standing (at least for a few seconds).  John David Rollings, Zander Wilk Ruble and Daniel Henao were "blown away" by the results!
