On
Friday, February 19, Middle School students took a break from their regular
classes and chose different courses.
Exploratory Day courses included scrapbooking,
kickboxing, broomball, cross-country skiing, French crepe
making, using Flip
cameras, and making guacamole/quesadillas.
Also offered: astronomy, decorating scarves, pampering your
puppy, tips on
how to babysit, Chinese cooking, cup-stacking and stamping.
Exploratory
Day is a way to encourage students to try something new. This
day also encourages getting to know students from different grade
levels, as eighth
grade students had the opportunity to take courses with the seventh and
sixth
graders.
Thank
you to all of the Middle School teachers who participated, and a special thanks
to Marjie Blevins, Barb Davis, Tracy Joyce and Peter Sandstrom for donating
their time and talent to our Middle School students.
Hopefully,
students
chose an activity or hobby they had never tried and ended up loving it.
Who
knows, maybe some even discovered a life-long hobby.
