FOCUS Ends with an Erie Canal Tour!

For our end of the year field trip, FOCUS traveled to Lockport to tour the Erie Canal. Students learned about the history of the Erie Canal, including locks, two of which they toured through. Everyone had lots of fun. Thanks for a great year!

 

Here students are learning how locks work.

Pictures on the boat!

All smiles on the Erie Canal!

Last Day of FOCUS is Friday June 17

The last day of FOCUS for the school year is Friday June 17, where we will be traveling to the Erie Canal for a field trip. Hand in your permission slips by Monday June 13 if you'd like to attend! :)

Some of our favorite enrichments this year include Engineering with the Science and Discovery Center, Ceramics with 171 Cedar Arts, and Cooking with Miss Jen. Take a look at some pictures below.

In Engineering, students built a bridge made out of straws and a dome made out of colored paper. Great work everyone!

 
Amanda Warren from 171 Cedar Arts taught our students how to make several ceramic pieces. Here you see students showing off their bird baths and name plates. Students had so much fun creating their ceramic pieces that they always get to take home. Thanks Amanda!

Miss Jen cooking some pizza quesadillas, one of her delicious recipes she taught our FOCUS students how to make.
