Welcome to TLE's ALP program! I am Mrs. Derrick and it is a privilege to teach your children. This site will help you better understand what your child is learning in ALP. We are learning about the Engineering Design Process ( Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Experiment, Improve ). This year our focus is incorporating STEAM into ALP. Second-grade students through fifth-grade students are challenged to be innovators and problem solvers. Students[qualify each trimester. If you have questions about qualifications, please visit with your child's teacher.
