Our seventh and eighth graders just wrapped their Our seventh and eighth graders  just wrapped their short story unit with a fiction workshop to get feedback on our own short stories. Students then used that feedback to polish their final drafts, which they shared at our unit celebration: a reading at Firestorm Books. We are so proud of these authors! Next, they will be transitioning from talking about how to create conflict in fiction to how to minimize conflict in society. What would a conflict-less society look like and feel like? What a good conversation to start their next novel: The Giver.

The Omega Middle School 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.

Did you know that we are coming up on Rainbow's 50 Did you know that we are coming up on Rainbow's 50th Anniversary?! For this Throwback Thursday, we thought it would be fun to share this nugget from our 40th Anniversary. Ten years ago, we celebrated 40 Years of Love. In 2027, we will celebrate 50 years of Loving to Learn and Learning to Love!

The connection that our older elementary students The connection that our older elementary students form with the younger grades is so sweet! Each class partners with another as Reading Buddies, meeting regularly to read to one another, share field trips, and engage in other shared learning experiences. The joy that comes from these connections is long-lasting!

Adolescents need places and spaces where they can Adolescents need places and spaces where they can be given the opportunity to be trusted with their own learning, to have some autonomy, to practice exploring what aspects of learning really light them up, to be given a little bit of space, and to be in charge of their own learning environment. In Omega Middle School, one of the primary ways that comes into play is through our electives program. 

Learn more about the value of an electives program in the adolescent experience by tuning in to Episode 9 of Kaleidoscope, Rainbow Community School's video podcast. Links to Kaleidoscope can be found on our website and in our social media profiles. Every episode includes a downloadable parent resource!
