SAIL ADVENTURE DAY: The PCS Summer Adventure In Learning (SAIL) students had a great adventure day last Friday as the Kindergarten, 5th Grade and Middle School students took a trip to the Grand Rapids Public Museum and the Outdoor Discovery Center in Holland. The students had a lot of fun learning and exploring on their adventures, what a great experience it was for these SAIL students!
FIRST WEEK OF SAIL: It was a great week, as our summer students set SAIL on their Summer Adventure In Learning! We were so excited to welcome these students back in the buildings to learn and grow through this awesome summer program. Here are some highlights from the week:
1. The K-5 students created a social contract that we’re calling our Compass!
2. Middle School STEAM students planned, marketed and created business plans for how they would run a food truck.
3. We already have high school students completing classes. Self-paced means SAIL ends for high school students when they’ve achieved their credits.
4. Our elementary students read about character development throughout the week. We finished this with Friday Adventure Day where students created their own super hero - mask, cape, comic and all!
It was a great first week and we cannot wait to welcome back our Sailors next week!
