Maturity and Advanced Learning - 8th Grade PIP Tal

Maturity and Advanced Learning - 8th Grade PIP Talks

On Tuesday, our 8th grade students took to the stage to present their Personal Interest Projects (PIP). These presentations were the culmination of several months of academic work and are great examples of how our students shine as they matriculate through the grades. PIP presentations begin in 4th grade and grow in depth and complexity as students advance with each grade level. By the time they reach 8th grade, they are prepared to engage in meaningful research and present topics that hold both personal and societal impacts. PIP topics from this year include: Green Rocket Fuels, How Screens Affect People in Their Daily Lives, The Science of the Scam, and Equal Work - Equal Pay.

The Omega program engages the Rainbow Seven Domains of Learning with the advanced needs of the adolescent at the heart. Classroom learning does more than increase in complexity of content, it ensures meaning and purpose are infused in the student experience increasing internal motivation and empowering the students as partners in their learning. The holistic curriculum engages the diversity of skills needed to thrive into the high school years and beyond.

We are so proud of our students and how much they have learned and matured during their time with us!

On this Throwback Thursday, we celebrate our community connection with the Asheville Fire Department (@ashevillefd)! Each year, fire fighters visit our preschool students to teach fire safety, familiarize students with the gear they wear, and to allow the children to explore a fire truck.

The first photo in this batch, features a current 7th grader and a current 8th grader posing by the wheel of a fire truck when they were preschoolers 10 years ago! The rest of the photos in this batch are of today's preschool visit with the fire department. We are so grateful to have this partnership year after year!

Positive Risk Taking and Resilience - The social i

Positive Risk Taking and Resilience - The social impact of failure becomes a more significant factor in the elementary child’s learning environment, requiring educators who can support students' own ability to face challenges with tools for resilience and perseverance. The elementary years are a critical foundation for long term healthy identity development and strong habits of learning.

Our fourth graders recently closed out their ancient civilizations unit with a lively performance about Egyptian mythology. This production engaged students in six of the Rainbow Seven Domains™:

Mental Domain - Students made meaning out of the content and memorization of lines.

Social Domain - Students collaborated and played off of each other as well as encouraged each other when they had challenges.

Creative Domain - Students learned about the importance of key elements like props, setting, costumes and sound effects.

Emotional Domain - Students were challenged to consider the perspective of their characters and to think about how tone of voice and facial expressions help to convey a character's emotions. They also overcame their discomfort or embarrassment about performing.

Spiritual Domain - The play connected student learning about Egyptian mythology with how the ancient Egyptians explored the big, unanswerable questions of the universe.

Physical Domain - The class blocked scenes and learned how to use their bodies to engage in physical comedy.

We love seeing the seven domains at work and It is inspiring to witness the way these kids take on challenges and come together to support one another and grow together. It is now a few weeks later and the kids (and their parents) are still talking about this incredible performance!
