The Rainforest class embarked on another unique adventure this week by collaborating with a neighboring school. Previously, they had worked with elementary students on their inquiry about growth, and this week, they partnered with high school students who provided valuable assistance in answering questions related to their unit.

The class was warmly welcomed by the high school students and their wonderful teachers at Agataoka High School. They started with a delightful tour of the school, followed by spending time with the older students. Everyone introduced themselves and engaged in some reading and coloring activities together.

The highlight of the collaboration was the interview session, where the Rainforest students asked a series of questions to the high school students about growth. Both groups were inspired by each other during this collaboration, leaving them with joy in their hearts.

The last and final open school day happened this week, too. Compared to the previous open day, this one was more relaxed and spontaneous. The teachers, students, and parents just had fun and showed everyone the results of their study and inquiry.

Time flies fast and our little inquirers are graduating soon. They can now write and spell, read and present, and think and voice out their opinion. It was such a lovely open day as the parents witnessed how much their little ones had grown up.

Have a lovely long weekend!
