I hope we all find ways to slow down and connect with our environment, especially over this coming summer. <br><br>That delightful feeling of sun and air and soil is something that's always thrilled me and has probably fed into my interest in hands-on experience and experimentation through the science world. I am excited to share the following article with you all as you continue thinking through your academic curricula over the next couple years. With my science background, I am most definitely biased in favor of hands-on research and exploration, but it's interesting to see what types of organizations are rising up from the desire to build spaces and programs that increase "play".<br><br><a href="http://email.mail4.veracross.com/c/eJxdUc2SgyAMfhq91QERqgcP_fO8b9BJAZUV0QHaTt9-Y92tMzsDIfnyJSGJqjkD4OlDXmftw-SuegRjr_NQc1IKXpC0ryHPFdkzToCoire03VdK6VtVClWWgkJq6z7GOSTskOQNnufzmblXNKMOmZxGRHJCS3xIsQiOQqu7hGgmh7rV4J1xHaqzn761jLsbBK12f46sj6NNWOO9bhN2lpO1SHoH87wJq_4P_RTYbekFrH5MYY0cEJCTi9rF0xbLzh_-KU8OlxXz4Bb6OKm71WjPIAfoNEIPHNvK6U3XW7wxbIm_LEg9ooJ-7F3MXXzNS4LfT7ceeampl_mQghHKKWUko9mRHoqiulQVa8QxF6ekIMtiigzrgfRTeE829XULo7EvdPfaOG9kj3h2H5aNYpNYuYZgF2tbbClY-QMbFqev">Link to NY Times article on Project-based learning<br><br></a>Enjoy, and I hope you have a wonderful week!<br><br>As always, my best - <br>Mrs. Craig<br><br></p> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <table align="center" width="640" class="main" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr> <td> <table width="640" class="main-background" style="table-layout: fixed; margin: 0 auto;" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td class="divider-simple" style="padding: 5px 0px 0px 0px;"> <table width="85%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="center" style="border-top: 1px dashed #CCCCCC; margin: 0 auto; table-layout: fixed;"> <tr> <td width="100%" height="5"></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <table align="center" width="640" class="main" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr> <td> <table width="640" class="main-background" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td style="padding: 10px 20px" class="main-padding" align="center" valign="top"> <table border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" width="100%" align="left" class="column-table"> <tr> <td valign="top" class="leftColumnContent" align="left" style="text-align: left; line-height: 22px; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; color: #000000;"> <h1 style="text-align: left; margin: 0px; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; color: #e67e22;" width="100%"> Announcements </h1> <p style="text-align: left; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; line-height: 22px; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; color: #000000;"><span style=""><strong>Bounce is coming!</strong><br>This Friday, May 4th after school - save the date!

No additional test preparation is required. Please avoid making doctor’s appointments during these times.<br>Students will have a break in the middle of the test. NOTE: FULLY CHARGED LAPTOPS REQUIRED. <br><strong></strong><br><strong></strong><strong>PSAT scores</strong><br>For those who cannot access PSAT scores -- If your PSAT has been scored and released, you should be able to access it online. I have still received only 32 scores so far, so MOST of you have not yet had your scores released. ASL has arranged that you will also be sent a paper copy of your scores, including a PSAT guide to individual questions and your answers, by paper mail. Those usually arrive to ASL in May, and we distribute them to families. <br><br><strong>Current Grade 10 Health Students</strong><br>We are approaching our bi-annual visit from Brenda Conlan, an alcohol and drug prevention specialist, who will be visiting the American School in London to work with High School students the week of May 14th.
