Innovative Schools and Innovative Teachers

Dear Discovery Community,

I’m sure that you know our staff is amazing, but I would like to share a some great pictures from an activity during our work today.  Our staff was divided into teams.  They were given supplies and charged with creating their own Themed Magnet School.  At the end of the competition, the Discovery STEM Trophy was awarded to the winning school:  Equilibrium Academy; Bodies, Mind, and Soul.

Enjoy,

Tom

Welcome to Discovery STEM

Dear Parents,

Welcome to another year of learning through STEM here at Discovery Academy.  I’m Tom Reed-Swale, the new STEM Theme Coach at Discovery.

A quick bit about me:  I’m a graduate of UConn three times over.  I have degrees in Elementary Education, Curriculum and Instruction, and Education Administration.  For seven years, I taught 4th and 5th grade in West Hartford at Wolcott Elementary School, I spent another two years teaching 3rd grade at Union School in Farmington, and now I am ecstatic to join the Discovery Academy family.

From time to time, I will post some pictures, videos, newsletters, and announcements regarding STEM on this blog.  It will be a chance for you to see how our STEM theme is materializing in our teaching, your student’s learning, and everything else we do at Discovery.

Keep checking back from time to time and if you would like to get notifications when I add new posts, simply go to the “subscribe” box and enter your email.

All the best,

Tom Reed-Swale
