Home made pizzas in Advisory today. Yum.

Happy new school year from Middle School Advisory.  The new 6th graders are integrating into their advisories and getting to know the older kids. The new Morning Advisory sessions, designed after Responsive Classroom (that takes place in grades K - 5) are less formal and a little more low key than what they experienced previously but we are finding that it's a great way to settle into the day.  Many of the advisory activities this month are focusing on getting to know one another.  But in addition, the last couple of longer advisory sessions have involved the vegetable garden beds in the playlot that the kids helped plant last spring.

Of course, nothing tastes better than food that you've grown and picked yourselves!  Middle School advisory kids got a taste of that experience today after picking vegetables and herbs and making tasty pizza creations.  Nasturtiums and green tomatoes on a pizza? Fantastic!
