The Chaparral Challenge Lab
The Mission of the Challenge Lab is to provide extra challenges to the students who most need them in order to keep them excited about school and help them to reach their full potential.
Exploring Medieval England
Medieval kings and queens played chess in their spare time, so we are learning and playing too.
Welcome To Teaumbria and CastleDarjeeling!
From Peasants to Princes and Princesses
This year students will be working their way up from peasants to royalty by working on projects and researching. The better the quality of their work, the faster they will move up through the social classes of the period. Privileges and rewards will be earned as they advance. Good luck to all!
The students have been researching medieval monarchs. This is Aubrey as Eleanor of Aquitaine.
Our Dragon Eggs are Hatching
Each student who is reading Jeremy Thatcher Dragon Hatcher has adopted a dragon's egg. We are so excited that they have started to hatch. We can't wait to meet them!
Our Time Machine
Dr. Van Pandick is sending us back in time once again to collect artifacts for him to make him a millionaire! This time to England during the Middle Ages.
