End of First Trimester Intensives

Last week Tennie and Adele finished up two weeks of their end-of-trimester intensive.  Tennie chose to do a yoga intensive and did nothing but learn about yoga and visit and practice yoga at yoga studios throughout the valley every day.  She loved it.  

At the end of the intensive the school held a showcase so the students could display or show what they had been doing.  Tennie was home sick this day, but we went and saw her yoga mat.

Adele did a debate intensive where she learned public speaking skills, wrote speeches and learned the art of debate.  They had a few field trips to the University of Utah, a local high school to learn from the debate team and the Utah capitol.

And the 5th graders spend the last hour of the day for two weeks doing an "intensive". Ceci chose creative writing and produced some fun short stories.

This week Tennie lamented that intensives were over and she was no longer spending all day every day with her friends, but back in a classroom.  Ah, the ups and downs of SCHOOL!
