In Cerrito and Strawberry (4th/5th grades), the classrooms held a combined showcase of their work and learning during the current Oceans Unit. One portion of Strawberry Creek was transformed into a kelp forest, while Cerrito Creek centered around a tidepool. Both classrooms featured student-written animal reports, with additional activities including a "seagull dissection" emphasizing the impact of the pacific trash patch, live krill for inspection, paper plate models depicting the relative amount of water, land, etc covering the earth's surface, and ocean-related poetry.
In Sweet Briar Creek (Kindergarten), students finished their literature unit on Fairy Tales by putting on a Story Play titled "Good vs. Evil", which they had collectively written. At the conclusion of the play, they answered questions from audience members that ranged from "How did you resolve disagreements about what ideas to include?" and "What parts of this play remind you of other fairy tales?" to "What flavor cake did they eat at the end?"
