Testing is Over But Learning Continues

Seeing Piedmont spring back to life these last days of school is exactly the right antidote to a long bout of testing.

I couldn't catch all the activities as I was proctoring make-ups, but from the tie-dying and arts and crafts, to the memory wall, to the Pirate Awards (where the definition of award-worthy is not just based on test scores) to the street hockey game Mr. Egnot ref'd all day Wednesday, Piedmont said:

The test is done now let the passion based learning continue! 

7th Grade Pirate Awards didn't just hand out certificates, they put on a PERFORMANCE everyone enjoyed!

6th graders take a ride on a hovercraft their classmates made for Catching Fire - Only Ms. Lyttle can make futuristic dystopian worlds this much fun!

Here are a few more images of the beautiful Tie-Dye. Ms. Gorman said it is amazing to watch students faces light up when they unroll their creations. Art and Math is always a plus here!
