Our first workshop in 2015 focused on Sfumato, or "going up in smoke." The students had some lessons on embracing the unknown and understanding that failure is sometimes just part of the process. The Prezi and some pictures are below! (If you'd like to view the video embedded in the Prezi, you can find it on the Home page.)

We continued our experiences with Sensazione with a field trip to the Erie Art Museum. The students not only got a chance to take in a little culture, but they were also able to put their senses to the test with a drawing exercise!

The November workshop on Sensazione focused on being more in-tune with our five senses and using them to their fullest. Below is the Prezi, as well as some pictures (click on each one for the full photo) of our sensory explorations. I think their experience with unsweetened chocolate will be one they don't forget!

Spring 2014
As a part of their Habitat for Humanity project, the students organized a fundraiser for the organization. For a small donation, students were able to attend an assembly during class that included a free concert and a chance to throw a pie in the face of their favorite teacher. They were able to raise over $200 for a very worthy cause!

As a part of our comprehensive Habitat for Humanity project (see above), the students are learning about the grant writing process and all that is involved. Hilary Bowen, an AmeriCorps VISTA who is currently working with Habitat for Humanity, was gracious enough to stop in and give us a plethora of information about the steps to take to complete a professional, well-written document.

The 7th, 8th, and 9th Grade students took a field trip to Presque Isle to work on their filming projects and help TREC with a planting project. It was a beautiful day to learn and help out our community! See pictures of our experience below:
Summer 2013
This summer Muriel Hook was chosen to participate in the 2013 Enviro Research Camp at Presque Isle. Muriel had to apply for the program, which included a lot of hands-on field research, and concluded with a presentation of their findings. She did an excellent job leading her group's presentation, and considers it a great learning experience! She hopes to be able to participate in the program again next summer.
