The fifth grade students have been studying our nations history and the events leading up to the Revolutionary War.
 They apply their learning as they take on the roles of famous Patriots and Loyalists and debate whether America should declare independence from Great Britain. |

To make this time period come alive, students took a field trip to Naper Settlement where they observed and experienced the daily life and careers of colonial times.
As our fifth grade learns about the past, primary grade students have been imagining the future. Students were fascinated by the STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and technology) careers of our parents and community members. We are very grateful for the demonstrations, interactive presentations and hands-on experiences they shared with our students.

Students are applying elements of STEAM as they work on the Global Cardboard Challenge, inspired by Caine's Arcade. They have been doing a lot of creative thinking, problem-solving and collaborating as they work on their projects! It's great to listen in on their discussion of all the possibilities they are imagining!
Other fun celebrations this week included Sports Day, where students dressed up in their favorite sports uniforms or represented their favorite professional and college sports teams.
Congratulations to Brendan, Dryden's Top Typer! He was recognized at the Board of Education Meeting for his outstanding presentation in the Summer Keyboarding Challenge.
