Company Presentations
Today, we had a great discussion about corporations around the world. Each student presented an overview of the operations of a company of interest while highlighting the ethical choices the companies have made in their history. We ended our discussion celebrating Barbie’s new identity. Hooray for diversity!
Investigating Water Flow
Investigating water flow at the Land School property is an excellent example of an occupation project. The students identified an issue present on the property (flooding and erosion) and will research theses processes, reach out to experts in the field, and attempt to migrate their effects.
