February 2016 Student Portfolio
English 6
The students read a challenging historical novel, set in Beijing during the time of Kublai Khan, and wrote synopses of each chapter. They have begun a longer-term project of composing and performing an original puppet show based in traditional folklore. Nikko continues to beam with curiosity; he asks well-constructed questions and thoughtful answers to the questions of others. He impresses me as someone who wants more than anything to learn and expand his view of the world. He readily applies himself to any task and will reapply himself if necessary. He is a careful worker.

Social Studies
This unit's focus was ancient China: its history, culture, philosophies, and arts. Two arts the students tried their hands at were traditional puppet-making and calligraphy. The class is proud to have a foundation in the geography of China and all of its neighbors. Nikko seems fascinated by anything to do with social sciences, from cultural studies to economics. Curiosity of this sort makes him a nonjudgmental observer of people and will make him a patient and truth-seeking researcher. He is honest and kind, conscientious and diligent.

Science Arts Integration
In Science Arts Integration we are addressing their Science lesson plans covering the makeup of the human cell. Each student chose a specific organelle that is contained within the cell as their topic. Their job was to create a cartoon character of that organelle, using the formal elements of art-line, shape, and color to represent it's appearance and function. Nikko's Vacuole character is awesome. His design is thoughtful and is very effective in relating the function of the organelle. He enjoyed working on this and the creativity that his design exhibits shows that.
