The end of the school year is a great time to celebrate project-based learning with family and friends. Lower School students of all ages enjoyed sharing what they’ve learned with their special guests. The QUEST Center in Foster Hall was the ideal space for sea creatures, dinosaurs and out-of-this-world learning.

Do not feed the sea creatures!

The kindergarten QUEST Center aquarium was a hit with students, families and visitors. To celebrate the completion of the lesson on sea creatures, the little Knights used recycled materials to create their own sea creatures. Everything from the fangtooth fish and a stingray to a pufferfish and a tiger shark was on display in blue windows that truly gave the feeling of an underwater world.

First graders bring the great outdoors inside

They’ve learned about beaks. They’ve visited a swamp. They’ve dissected owl pellets. First graders know a lot about Louisiana creatures and habitats. They took the opportunity to share their expertise by creating habitats and dressing up as their favorite animals. For a moment, they brought the great outdoors inside the QUEST Center in Foster Hall.

2nd grade is out of this world!

Second grade astronauts were ready to blast off after weeks of Space Camp and learning about life beyond Earth. After singing in Morning Meeting, students showed off the “Magic School Bus” videos they created with green screen technology in the QUEST Center.

Welcome to the 3rd grade Paleontology Convention

There was a Paleontology Convention in the QUEST Center in Foster Hall this week. Third grade dinosaur enthusiasts shared everything they’ve learned about dinosaurs and prehistoric times. After participating in a fossil dig and excavation, making dinosaurs with puzzles and even zooming with a paleontologist, students wrapped up the project-based lesson by showcasing a creature or topic. Students discussed everything from the giant ground sloth to fossils and the asteroid believed to have caused the dinosaur extinction.

Fourth grade is electric!

The annual fourth grade cardboard arcade was a hit with students and families. Fourth graders showcased their creativity and engineering skills with games built using recycled materials and circuits. Games ranged from a Star Wars challenge that lit up when a competitor hit the target to sports contests and even a Pokemon toss.

A lesson on space with 5th grade

Before moving on to Middle School, fifth graders shared a lesson on space. Students showcased their knowledge of a range of topics, including the signs of the zodiac, constellations, rocket fuel, space rocks and astronaut training techniques. They are now ready to blast off to Middle School!
