The Exploratory team teachers at Smith School are working collaboratively this year to develop new strategies to amplifying how they teach Ramsey PoG skills to students. Exploratory teachers often get to see students in a different way than in other academic classes, which gives them a chance to teach PoG skills from a different perspective. Often, they are best positioned to teach skills such as Empathy, Adaptability, and Responsibility, just to name a few!

First grade is beginning their unit on 2-D geometry. Today, students identified attributes and used creativity to compose images with their shapes.

Students in Profile Project Seminar are well underway developing their projects! Today they worked on their SMART goals to support their individual objectives.

This week the Drama Workshop class at RHS presented its first production in three years. The resurgence of this class is a sign of new interest and energy in our district theater program.
