A Call for Old Tennis Balls!

The students of Saklan have learned a backyard cricket game known as bats.  They have become very skilled at using a plastic bat to hit a tennis ball. Unfortunately, during this process many tennis balls have been lost to the creek. So we would like to make a call for old tennis balls. If you have a collection sitting around and you are not sure what to do with them, please consider giving them over to the recess bat games.

Happy Earth Day!

Today, we celebrated Earth Day and the Family Groups took part in three different activities. First, the students learned about environmental issues, sustainability, and discussed the consequences of their choices and behaviors. They built planters made out of recycled plastic bottles and hung them by the middle school lunch area. Please check out their beautiful work when you are on campus!

Next, they looked at marine species from the San Francisco Bay that were brought on campus by the Marine Science Institute. The instructors introduced the students to the diverse aquatic life, helped them understand science, and foster a responsibility to protect the environment.

Finally, the students did an activity on this month’s Family Group theme that was Wonder. The students looked at beautiful photographs of nature and silently reflected on each of them. Later, they discussed how awe and wonder made them feel. It was a fun day of learning how we can help save our planet. Every day is Earth Day!

Students Celebrate Holi Festival

This week, the seventh grade spent the afternoon focusing on our SEL topic wonder and awe that surrounds us in our world. They learnt how people around the world celebrate those things around us. To do this, and to excite the students about this theme, the 7th grade welcomed in spring by having a small festival of colors, a modified Holi festival, more like a color explosion.

Students welcomed in spring, wished away bad spirits and played by getting all colorful! They were quite beautiful!
