Every year we have a week called "Experiential Learning Week." This is a week set aside for off campus learning. As the older class of the school, our 8th graders get to spend a week in Switzerland with some of their teachers exploring castles and bonding as a class. The 6th and 7th graders stay in our area and do activities and field trips each day. This year I had the privilege of spending the week with the 6th grade class. Our week was themed after the popular TV show, "Amazing Race." Students were put into four groups and had to complete challenges throughout the week. Here is what our week was filled with:
Monday Morning: International Cooking
Monday Afternoon: CSI School (and a real investigation of "The Missing Passport!")
Tuesday Morning: Outdoor Activities (climbing trees and rocks with ropes and harnesses!)
Tuesday Afternoon: Reading/Crafts at the Elementary School
Wednesday: Écomusée d'Alsace - Outdoor Pioneer Village (the kids' favourite was the feeding of the pigs!)
Thursday: No School! :)
Friday Morning: Electropolis Museum - Electricity Museum
Friday Afternoon: Janz Team Recording Studio (their clap track will be featured in an album later this summer!) and activities at Maugenhard Dorm (the dorm parents there are the parents of one of our 6th graders)
