Students gain insight into how to think and find things out on their own.
They learn about ways to work together to solve complex problems. Students are interested in learning and willing to take chances. I appreciate all the support from their families too. It helps that students have had similar experiences in all grades. Some of the topics we study are exploration, American history and ecology.
