Lab Parents:
Welcome one and all to the 2009-2010 school year filled with applied
learning experiences that develop an enthusiasm for learning and the academic and
social skills necessary to prepare your child for a successful future.
The first few weeks will be a time of creating specific learning
experiences designed to access student's academic needs and interests, channeling
their energy constructively, introducing them to our hands-on-algebra program,
and designing specific learning experiences to further refine cognitive and
creative thinking skills. We will
also begin a unit on Applying the Scientific Method.
All units in the Life Lab program
are designed to teach concepts and integrate skills from all areas of the school
curriculum.
I am looking forward to working with you and your
child. I
consider education to be a partnership and welcome your input. We
anticipate another exciting year of learning adventures that will continue to
develop and prepare us for bright today's and successful tomorrows. Please feel
free to call or e-mail me anytime - at home or school.

Field
Trips
2009-2010
Fourth and Fifth Grade Life Lab Field Trips
The Life Lab students will be accompanying their class on three field trips this year. We will need parent chaperones to transport and accompany the class on these trips. The dates of the trips and pertinent information concerning the trips are given below:
Field Trip to Discovery Cove
While
at Discovery Cove, we were captivated by the coral reef
as we snorkel amid thousands of rays and exotic fish; and experienced the fascination of
swimming for miles down the lazy river surrounded by sparkling lagoons,
and waterfalls; and entering a series of free flight aviaries that tower
above us. One day was spent at Discovery Cove and another day at Sea World.
At Sea World we
saw amazing animal shows; hands-on
animal encounters; and the highest and fastest roller coaster in
Field Trip to Discovery Cove
CLASS OF 2009
This is a field trip we will never forget. While at Discovery Cove, we were captivated by the coral reef as we snorkeled amid thousands of rays and exotic fish; experienced the exhilaration of interacting with the dolphins during our reserved swim; the fascination of swimming down the lazy river surrounded by sparkling lagoons, reefs and waterfalls; and explored a series of free flight aviaries that towered above us.
We touched, fed and became acquainted with colorful tropical birds.

MS ROBB'S TRIP HIGHLIGHT: As a parting gift from our fifth grade seniors, who will be leaving us for further adventures at the Middle School they gave this Life Lab Teacher an experience that will last a lifetime- an exhilarating ride on a helicopter. Believe me I gained a whole new perspective of the world and a memory that will never fade.
