Our junior high students have been involved in a cross-curricular project that we call "The Game of Life", to prepare them for life beyond high school. Students have worked through the process of pursuing post-secondary education, completing their education/training, finding a job, and finding a place to live, with all of the various bumps that one might face along the way.
It has been a real learning experience. While it was a mock situation, the students took it really seriously, with some frustration along the way. The focus of this project was to build resiliency and to help students gain the confidence necessary to reflect and re-evaluate when faced with adversity.
Our students would like to showcase their learning on Friday, February 28, 2020 from 2:00-3:00 pm. Parents and community members are invited to come view these projects and talk to our students about their learning. Please feel free to share this invitation with anyone that you think might be interested in joining us.
