Project Adventure

Project Adventure is an adventure based curriculum that promotes teamwork, problem solving, and risk taking.  It a a way of doing; it is not just an activity.  Students will work together to achieve goals and outcomes in a variety of different ways.  Students are taught to value everyone's ideas and that there may be several different ways to achieve the same outcome.  Thru PA, students will discover that they are powerful thinkers who can achieve success in many different ways.  For students to participate in this type of activity, it must be fun and the setting must feel safe to them.  They need to be able to have the space to speak their minds and push themselves to take risks without feeling threatened.  Problem solving and thinking through ideas is part of the learning process.  Students need to know that mistakes or "failure" if you will, is part of the learning process, and that we all make them and that that is how we learn and become stronger.   Mr. Hoak and Mr. Walling work with grades 2-5 once a week on these activities.
