Students participate in a variety of activities during Choice Time based upon their interests and abilities:
A group of students act out Harry Potter and a game of Quiddich.

Another student mixes the healing potion (a.k.a Plantain Salve) that the class began the day before.

These children chose to work on a mosaic made out of plater of Paris and recycled materials.

Seven and eight year old students play a game of Pokemon in the library.  The game has become a passion for many of the students.  Younger students are delighted with looking at the card pictures and discussing their values.  Older students use their more developed reading, math and strategy skills necessary to engage in a "battle."

A first year student creates stories as he builds with Legos.

First and second year students taste fruits from around the world.  A parent volunteers cuts up the fruit and helps students observe the texture, appearance and taste of Cherimoyas, pomegranates, saba, lychee and other exotic fruits.  Those that are interested also discuss the countries and climates of the fruits origins.
