Open House 2008

Thanks to everyone who came out to see all of the great things happening at Edison Environmental Science Academy last night! We had our Fall Open House from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM. Many families came through to see their wonderful teachers and hear about the great things happening here.

Here are a few pictures from Open House 2008.

Just before Open House, Mr. Johnson picked some of the fresh vegetables from the Edison Garden. Families that visited his room were able to take some of these fresh goodies home!






Mrs. Buckhannon had her new SmartBoard and digital projector on so that students and parents could see and use it for themselves. This student is not only writing on the board, but he is actually writing on the computer screen. Interactive SmartBoards are in every classroom at Edison.




This student is sitting at the podcast studio desk while her parent takes a picture. You can hear her voice soon on the Edison Environmental Science Academy podcast.

A Simple Math Activity

It has been an exciting first week at Edison Environmental Science Academy! Learning opportunities are everywhere as we begin the new school year and start using our new curriculum. Two of our teachers teamed up today and shared an engaging classroom activity experience. Here is a video that shows what they did.

First Day of the 2008-2009 School Year

Welcome back! We are so excited to start a new school year at Edison Environmental Science Academy!

As you can tell from this blog, we had a busy summer program with Garden Camp. While that was happening, many of our teachers were working on a new curriculum for grades K-5. We have a lot of new technology for our teachers and students to use, like a SmartBoard in every classroom. Our teachers have been learning how to use them, and very soon they will be teaching our students to use them interactively too!

Here is a quick Animoto of pictures from the first day. Welcome back!
