Besides enjoying our renovated space, many things are going on in the Sidney and Lucy Dewey Learning Commons.
We have been using our Polycom ( an interactive distance learning device similar to Skype) for virtual field trips. So far classes have “visited” the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, done science experiments with a teacher in Ohio, explored the skeletal system with a doctor from St. Louis University School of Medicine, learned how to do perspective drawings of a lighthouse located on Lake Erie, and visited the castles on the Loire river in France. In March we’ll be presenting one that parents can attend – stay tuned!
