Seekers
Grades 1, 2
Students will engage in weekly field trips and daily physical education, art projects, science experiments, and other activities focused around a central weekly theme. Through project-based learning, students will apply critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, and self-management skills to solve real-world scenarios.
Session A: Voyaging in the Vast Pacific We will find out about the ancestors of the ancient Polynesians and how bravely they traveled the treacherous oceans and discovered and colonized our islands. Imagine yourself as the adventurer, travelling by double-hulled canoe, with your supplies, crewmates, and animals. What will you encounter? How will you survive? How would you save the same oceans in the future? Join us in this expedition across the ocean.
Note: This class will take a scientific (not cultural) approach to our oceans.
Session B: Ocean Animals Let's go on an adventure to learn about the animals that live in the skies above and the waters below our vast oceans. We will study a variety of ocean animals including birds, sea turtles, fish, marine mammals, and many others. How are they important to our Earth? What is happening to their environments? And, most importantly, how can we save them?

Investigators
Grades 3, 4, 5
Students will be part of a structured learning experience around a weekly theme. Hands-on activities will explore science, art, and engineering concepts. We plan to take one or two field trips to further explore our theme.
Session A: Building for the Better—Weather Related Hazards Students will learn through hands-on activities about weather related hazards and how they affect our communities. This class will include the use of art, math, and science. Students will learn how weather affects communities and ways to prevent or lessen the impacts from severe weather. By the end of the week, students will come up with solutions and create a diorama or model of their solution to share.
Session B: Peace and Tranquility—Community Sound Garden Students will learn how music can improve our emotional wellbeing. We will explore different sounds and how they affect our emotions. Students will come up with ideas and implement them to create a community sound garden, including what kinds of sounds and instruments will be included. Students will create their instruments, and on Friday they will have the opportunity to share and try out each other's instruments.
