RISE Secondary 1 students had a cooking lesson and practiced measurement and counting skills. They made funny-faced pancakes following a recipe from the Unique Learning System curriculum with their story, “Kiruna Snow Festival.”
Despite the cooler weather, Elementary 1 students are preparing for Spring by taking initial steps for their bean harvest! Did you know that there are multiple learning objectives from just one bean seed, dirt, water, and sunshine? Students are exposed to following step-by-step directions, observing the life cycle of the bean plant, and identifying parts of a plant. All while having fun! Stay tuned for photo updates!
