This year, all of Gillen Brewer's classes are named after different kinds of plants. In connection with thsi theme, students across the school learned about a variety or plant-related topics in science class, from plant parts to photosynthesis. Students participated in hands-on gardening projects, practiced responsibility by taking care of the plants, and conducted simple experiments with the plants themselves to demonstrate the effects of a lack of sunlight.
We firmly believe that our unique populations of students learn best when there are strong connections between the various subject areas and therapeutic disciplines. When science class is connected to the search for a class name, the content is meaningful. This helps students with attention, language and learning issues to connect to the content and learn new information. We pride ourselves on being an integrated program, from cross-curricular projects such at these to the integrated reports families receive biannually.
