Learning in the Classroom and Beyond!

Dynamic Design is engaging in some deep learning!  In addition to preparing for NECAPs next week, students are learning more about American systems of government in various ways.  This includes the creation and operation of our own branches of government, complete with a Constitution, as well as deep analysis of the current government shutdown and other current events by means of Socratic Seminar discussions.  Through a variety of interactive and cooperative learning, students are learning more and more about government and what it means to be a good citizen.

This Friday, October 4, we also ventured to the Shelburne Museum to participate in the Passport to Learning, an exciting series that meets the educational standards of Vermont’s Common Core. Students participated in various workshops that relate to the content covered in our current 21st Century theme, Citizenship & Government. Workshops included a traditional town hall meeting, exploring the judicial system, and simulating a barter & trade economic system. It was a great day to explore.
