Winterim Ends

When asked to describe their Winterim, we recorded what students said in order to make the Wordle below:

From Lawrence Academy Winterim

Check out the final slide show of various photos we received throughout the 2-week Winterim experience. The song on this slide show was taken from the Animoto music lounge, which artists use to promote their music. The song used for the Winterim assembly slide show was called Propane Nightmares by Pendulum. We currently do not have permission to use their song on our website.

Flustered and back in the classroom...

Today we were all very productive as a group and got a lot done. Together, we posted about ten more new posts for the blog, worked on making the slide slide show for tomorrow's presentation, Eric visited the martial arts group, Tyus visited the Iron Chef group, Kerrin watched some chess matches, Gabe wrote a post on yoga, Judd wrote a post on casino night and talked about the trips coming back today, and I finished editing and put up the last two interviews for Head Start. We also got together in groups of two and came up with ideas for the last three blog posts for tomorrow.

The Final Struggle for Perfected Glass Art

The artwork is finally coming to a close. The art is looking beautiful and the students can almost take a breath of fresh air. The group is spending their time grinding the glass down so there are no sharp edges and polishing it to shine like a diamond. The Final Struggle is here. Tomorrow we will see the finished art work.

The Luck of the Irish doesn't Help Everyone During Casino Night!

Thursday night, St. Patrick's Day, students crammed into the Student Lounge for a night of Poker, Roulette, Craps, and various other casino games. Chips could be traded in for tickets, which would be drawn for a raffle. Winners could win various prizes, such as Red Sox fan packages, and the like. Two lucky winners received iPod Shuffles. Kids who decided not to gamble sat and watched TV, played pool, or played Rock Band.

Germination!!!

As you can see, the Food For The Health Of It group was germinating seeds and analyzing commercial fertilizer on three different plant species on Tuesday. According to their itinerary, they went on their first field trip yesterday to the local dairy farm called Gardner Farm, to look at a few different types of hay.
