Falcon's Nest
has hatched!

 
 

The Falcon’s Nest has been busy!


In the past few weeks we have had workshops on theater and animation. Some students have finished their first projects already!  Kids have been writing books, building roller coasters and bridges, making movies, writing and performing music, creating video games to teach us about myths and science.  Some of the kids have been studying about places and people they want to know more about, they are sharing the information they find with us by creating dioramas, displays, power point presentations, and audioblogs.  We have a group of budding writers, musicians, artists, athletes, engineers, historians and scientists.  The kids are delving into topics that they care about and advocating for things they believe in.

 

Thank you parents for donations of furniture and art supplies.
