SIG Overlake Update
Teaching Students, Not Curriculum!
Week 1
Dear Families,
We had a wonderful first week at SIG and we can't believe it went by so fast! Whether it be observing different kinds of clouds, creating new machine designs, contemplating the invention process, mapping the Earth's crust, or researching technology pioneers, students have been asked to challenge themselves. We hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July tomorrow!
At SIG this week, while exploring new ideas, students set their own objectives for each class as do the instructors. In the following weeks, they will continue to engage in learning that will include complexity, challenge, creativity, depth, and acceleration based on each students own goals and needs.
