Springs’ Otay Ranch Academy for the Arts (ORAA) teacher Taylor Olson had a Jedi Training Camp. Students practiced skills to be Jedi: balance, concentration, teamwork, problem-solving, agility, accuracy, and peace. The favorite activity, Ms. Olson reported, were lightsaber battles.
In teacher Tamra Santana’s class, students studied science by making the layers of the earth out of Play-Doh, cutting it open with floss to see the layers. And, in Jennifer Clark’s class, students took statistics of the colors in a box of Fruit Loops.
