Throughout the year, students in grades K-5 engage in themed research projects that allow them to dive deeper into subjects they are passionate about. These projects not only enhance research skills but also encourage collaboration and creativity. Some examples include:
Cultural Heritage Projects: Students research and learn about different cultures, celebrating diversity.
Holidays Around the World: Students learn about unique traditions from around the world and share their own traditions.
Space Explorers: We visit NASA's educational website, dive deep into our books about space, and learn about our planets.
