If one is the master of one thing and understands one thing well, one has, at the same time, insight into and understanding of many things. – Vincent Van Gogh

This week we will begin a new adventure. Students will be given a unique topic, which they will investigate and build their knowledge of throughout the school year. During LiD activities, each child will build a personal portfolio containing items such as pictures, texts, artifacts, interviews, movies, etc. Near the end of the school year, students will share their journey with the class. For three of our students, this is a journey that continues from last year. They are retaining the topics they were given last year and will continue to grow their understanding of their topic, perhaps branching off in new directions.

Later this week, we will have our opening ceremony, and we are excited to get underway. The enthusiasm generated by three students who participated last year has cemented our confidence that this will be an exciting opportunity for all. More information on this Canadian-developed program can be found on the Learning in Depth website.
