Week of Nov. 6th

Quote of the week: You may not understand or even like the challenges that are put in front of you,  but if you face them with determination and willingness to learn, you will grow and may even surprise yourself. - Michael Carberry

The week of Oct 30th

This week WLLC focused on our Full Moon Reflections. We took a look at the year so far and talked and wrote about our accomplishments as a school and as individuals. Learners  and staff created the Day of the Dead alter to celebrate those who have passed.

With Hurricane/Tropical Storm Sandy approaching, we took the opportunity to study weather systems during Story of the Universe.

In creative writing, we continued to work on our children's stories, while some began writing a follow up to their story, movies, or comic books.

Michael led an art class focusing on October traditions.

The kids decided to reap the rewards of a carnival well done in the creating a business class as we discussed gross and net profit and the things we would do with our profit.

Margo once again led a wonderful Jedi Training experience using the exploration of symmetry and asymmetry to hone further into the awareness of their bodies.

Pics and more!
