This school is absolutely amazing! I love how they came up with a theme, visit it in real life and then recreate it in the classroom. I was so impressed with the conveyer belt, instument controls for the cockpit of a plane, how they set the kids up as though they were passengers in the plane... complete with seatbelts! It was great. The use of smartboards in the classroom makes the Internet accessible for the kids in their searches. Very academically stimulating for their students. Staff development would be critical at this school so that all teachers would be "on board" with the curriculum and also the technology used in the classroom.
Amazing!
