Tenth Age Study Tools

As an additional study tool for our Chapter 1 Geography test, students may click on the following links to access quizlet for Chapter 1 and Map Skills vocabulary.  Using these "virtual flashcards," the boys can play a variety of review games to prepare for the test.  Spelling City is another great online resource, which can be used to help students review for their weekly spelling tests.  After entering their words into the site, the boys will have access to a wide variety of helpful review activities and interactive games. 

Pilot Buddies

Recently, the 10-2 boys met with their Pilot buddies for the first time.  The Tenth Agers read stories about pumpkins, farms, and other fall-themed topics to their Pilot friends.  Many of the 10-2 boys also reminisced about their own experience in the Pilot wing.  We are looking forward to many more exciting visits with Pilot A!

Genesee Valley Outdoor Learning Center

Students prepare for their climbing and wire bridge activities.

 The rope cocoon proved to be quite challenging...

 ...but communication and teamwork resulted in success!

Tenth Agers thank the Genesee Valley staff at the end of the day.

On Friday, September 28, the Tenth Age classes traveled to the Genesee Valley Outdoor Learning Center in Parkton, Maryland.  A gorgeous day and sprawling fields provided the backdrop for an array of outdoor activities emphasizing teamwork and problem solving.  The boys and girls played a variety of group games, tackled team challenges, and enjoyed a picnic lunch.  Some of the highlights included navigating through a "rope cocoon", scaling a climbing wall, and traversing wire bridges.  Each of the students challenged themselves and encouraged their classmates.  What an exciting and wonderful day!
