Our 5th graders get to meet a new team of teachers and friends, travel to multiple classes and even have lockers for the first time. Here, fifth graders are learning to use graphic organizers to write an argument for social studies class and then they will revise and share in language arts class.

In physical education class, sixth grade students worked together in cooperative groups to create original games for all the students to play. They learned about how to use collaborative skills, listen to each other and resolve conflicts in order to achieve a positive end goal... and they had a blast seeing their ideas put into action by their friends.

All 7th graders have a family and consumer science class in their schedules. This gives students the opportunity to practice cooperative, hands-on learning- and the results taste great too.

This program is sponsored by our very active Y2Y (Youth to Youth) students! This is a group filled with youth energy that is directed toward positive action within our school, community and state.
