computer but wouldn't block cuz it no turning goes like this from far away can you track okay I'm going to try cuz I got a pretty good way she has invested resources in developing an elementary curriculum so we can provide a k the 12 continue that really prepares even our youngest students for the global economy the elementary curriculum is just engaging for my students really science come their favorite subject they so look forward to our time when we're working on projects systems are highly engaged they are very excited of their projects anxious explain to you what they're doing good works like this you have to use the same twist around it's really cool I'm trying to cook a deer on so we got next song this is the driver here so it's truly really don't want to stop working on that activity to move on to the next thing I find when I introduce a project to them are we have a Project Lead the Way project they get so excited about it they go home afterwards they want to look things up on the Internet do further research they come back they want to share with her classmates what they've learned and it's just taking our learning to a whole new level the lesson that we did today is based on the Three Little Pigs we've been reading the story and okay so today in Albany giving different supplies and their goal is to create house that cannot be blown down by the Big Bad Wolf I'm making houses out of graham crackers and frosting I'm learning from the engineers and Engineers don't ever give no one has the same supplies in the table and I have to admit that they do it better than I did I did my samples all mine fast I like mine we're not putting our you very different from a traditional standpoint the olden days are you doing this way the only way it's right or wrong this Creek and opens it up to there is no right or wrong if we make a mistake it's not the end of the world any perfect I'm not perfect I understand that next time I would try this way how could you change this awesome but think about it think about how you can make that in my goal or hope for my students in the future is really that they'll be inspired by the project do a curriculum to become mathematicians and scientists I tell them all the time that someday they're going to solve the world's biggest problems and they're going to be creating innovations that will change the way the world operates and I really think that this curriculum is the beginning step to the inspiring them to do wonderful things we love play the way as a whole and looking at it at the elementary level now what we're finding is that those students are able to reach those higher level thinking skills I'm as a natural part of every single day so in comparing the programs at the various levels we already see it happening at the high school level tremendously worse set the Middle School level a little bit more and now for us it's more looking into the future saying oh my gosh look what what look what we're going to see over the progression of all of these years for these kids exactly what we're hoping for
