World Dancers

The enrichment cluster World Dancers has been working on dances around the world. At the end of the week they want to put together a video that has all of the dancing they've learned included in it. They have learned Ballet, Modern, Hip Hop, and Irish. The cluster looks really fun and I think all of the kids in the cluster enjoyed it.

         When we went to this cluster we observed that the students are making powerpoints. They are adding transitions between slides. They have been making slides about things they are interested in. By the end of the week they want to have completed slides and a finished powerpoint.

Bernabi Inventors

In the Bernabi Inventors cluster, the students were making parachutes with an egg in a holder, attached to the parachute. Mr.Mantel was dropping the parachutes with the eggs inside.They were seeing whose egg didn't crack. Only one egg made it without cracking.

Bernabi Builders

We observed the Bernabi Builders cluster. The students were working on building buildings to go into a model town. The buildings had a lot of effort put into them. In our opinion, the buildings were absolutely amazing. They were made out of wood blocks, card board, and plasitic blocks.

Bernabi Goes Green

The students in the Bernabi Goes Green Cluster were discussing how to recycle, what to recycle, and what happens to things you recycle. They were fortunate enough to have a representative from The Department of Environmental Services to educate them on recycling. For example, if a number on the bottom of a product in the triangle is 5,6, or 7 it is recycled into fleece.

Orff Ensamble

We visited Orff Ensemble. We saw students playing the xylophone, hand drum, and a few other instruments.They were practicing different songs. Mrs. Swarthout (who was hosting  Orff Ensemble) said that their end product was to learn many new songs. She was teaching notes and other parts of a song. In our opinion, they were doing great especially for the second day of clusters. Reporting by Austin and Olivia.

Crochet

In the cluster crochet we saw a group of people making braid strings with a needle and thread. Their end project is to make a place mat. What we observed before we left is that everybody was smiling and having fun.
