Pre-K visit Broadway

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Riverstone’s Pre-K students spend a morning at the Broadway campus, organized by teachers Anne-Marie Derry and Lilly Palacios.

Grade 10 students acted as science teachers for the day as the pre-k students got to enjoy a science fair of experiments in line with their PYP unit on the senses. The morning was complete with a pre-K/Grade 10 barbeque.

From novices to experts, young and old(er), students clearly enjoyed this opportunity to perform in front of a live audience. Thanks to Alison Steven and Damon Brown, music teachers for making this event possible.
