Project Based Learning in our Classrooms
PBL is Project Based Learning. In project based learning, students complete real world tasks, creating products, and presenting these products to an authentic audience.
As Louise Archer teachers plan these projects, they often have to search the community for professionals to advise students or to be an authentic audience for student work. If you have an area of expertise that you would be willing to share, please complete this short form. The school will not reach out to everyone who completes this form, but rather teachers will contact you if you have an area of expertise that can support a project they have planned.
It is Box Top Submission Time
Louise Archer Elementary School will be submitting all collected box tops by Friday, February 22. You can help by providing all box tops to the LAES teachers or via the new pink mailbox by the due date. Once we send in our box tops, LAES will receive a check, which we can use to purchase art supplies, books, or more.
The class with the most box tops will receive a frozen treats party in March.
Louise Archer ES thanks you for your support! Please email Karen Meade with any questions.
