Hello Innovator Families,
First of all, Exhibition Night was such a great success, and it’s all because of the fantastic work you’ve done in your homeschooling and how well your child was able to confidently share their learning with all of the guests. The room was packed, which made it difficult to get around to all of the great displays, but it was great to see the students so engaged in showing off their learning. Well done, Innovators! With only 3 ½ weeks left in this school year, there’s lots going on as we wrap it all up. Please read through these updates and announcements! Workshop update – Ethel has enjoyed her time with the Innovators at Tuesday workshops! They continue to explore Marine Biology topics in the mornings and spent the afternoon in the Maker Space making Maya houses.

WJ 6 – Work Journal 6 will run from May 29th – June 5th, and is due to the front office no later than Tuesday, June 5th at 4:15. For work journal 6, instead of turning in 10 work samples, you will only turn in 1 math sample and a reflection (written by the student) on their POL experience. Students should write at their level about what went well at their POL, what they learned from the process, and if there’s anything they’d like to do differently to improve next time. The work journal log, math sample, and POL reflection written by the student must be turned in by June 5th. Jennifer Johnson DVIA Voyagers Teacher Grades 6 – 8 Collaborative Program
