BIONIC - BELIEVE IT OR NOT I CAN
Knowing how to learn is a skill that comes with time. We recognize the need for students not just to receive instruction, but how to access and apply it. BIONIC is a class that helps to build students capacity as learners through the Health curriculum. Through a variety of learning activities including team building, study skills, organization skills, and leadership activities student will learn and practice the skills needed to be successful. We also emphasize the importance of relationship, and connection in our classrooms. This class occurs once in a six day cycle.
