Project Adventure

 


Each morning and afternoon our students take part in a class called Project Adventure.  Project Adventure is an approach to teaching that combines classroom learning with challenge and adventure.  This model focuses on trust, respect, fun, and constructive risk taking. 
Together with their peers, Kyrene students are presented with a physical challenge that requires them to work together to create a plan, set a goal, problem solve, and use peer-to-peer interaction to successfully complete their challenge. 
Our students are discovering that through cooperation and teamwork a challenge that alone might seem un-reachable can be obtained by working together.  Successfully completing a task together gives each group an exciting feeling of accomplishment and success.  Please take some time to ask your child about Project Adventure. You will be amazed to hear how their classmates have become members of a team and work together to accomplish a goal.
