Olive Children| BA's NEW Distance Learning Support is an in-person program designed to serve families with Elementary and Middle School students from local elementary and middle schools who are continuing distance learning this Fall. With flexible scheduling options, students will be placed in stable groups in an age-appropriate classroom and outdoor environment to support their distance learning and ensure they are absorbing as much knowledge as possible. We are thrilled to serve the community with this new program and are now accepting enrollments. Chromebooks will be provided. Space is very limited

We are trying to bring the spring dandelion on the lawn to our classroom! Students worked very hard on the detail of delicates dandelion flowers in great detail. A blue butterfly happened to stop by on some of children’s dandelions.

Hands on Science: Save the Water! The challenge for these group of students was to move 350 ml of water from one container to another. Students were strategizing different methods such as pouring the water slowly into the second container, trying to determine the best distance between each person to pour the water, and the position of the container of water being poured into the next container. Students were 75% successful with only losing about 1/3 of the water.

Friday Hands-on Science Class The students break up into 3 groups. Each group is given a pack of index cards and tape. The challenge for each group is to engineer a 10-inch tower that can hold the stuffed animal in the air for at least 10 seconds. They’ve learned that the tower built by paper or other materials needs to have very stable base and stack layers in order to support heavy load.

Multimedia painting in Friday art classes. With acrylic paint and cotton swabs, students create stunning cherry blossom falling from the tree under the semi cloudy skies. Oil pastel is one of the most favorable among all the materials. What you need to create dreamy effect of night scene is your imagination and paper towel to blend in colors. Do you like our Ark in the Sea oil pastel pictures?
