Delphi Academy Bike-A-Thon
This year's annual Bike-A-Thon was a success! We raised over $20,000 in donations for our new science lab! Our students rode as much as 21 miles on Saturday! Below are some photos of parents and students at Borderland State Park.

Delphi Students Visit Park Plaza Hotel for Tea Time!
Yesterday I hopped onto a field trip with our Elementary and Middle School students. They were heading into Boston for High Tea at the Park Plaza Hotel to practice their manners and tea time etiquette.
The idea of bringing Elementary and Middle School students to a fancy hotel for tea, at first put me on the edge of my seat, but when I arrived and saw how well mannered our students were, I was very impressed!
They were all seated nicely with their napkins on their laps, using a fork and knife to eat a scones and finger sandwiches, paying attention to their hostess talking to them about the different teas they were drinking. Everyone of the students was so perfectly behaved and well mannered, I don't know who wouldn't have been impressed by this magnificent display!
The students were not only getting educated on the flavors of the teas they were drinking, but they were learning about their histories. The students got the opportunity to drink a cup of the same tea which was dumped into the harbor during the Boston Tea Party; they all found this very interesting.
The Hotel was beautiful and very welcoming to our students. The food was exquisite and the tea was divine!
Here are some fun shots I took while were were there.

Delphi Academy Math Houses
Today I walked in to school, looked down the hallway and saw the greatest set of projects! Ms. Trish's math class, a group of students no older than 7, put together the most fantastic constructions.
They were asked to construct a home or a building of some sort and then calculate out the area, perimeter, etc. of their project. These constructions were not only eye catching, but also very creative and very well constructed.
The most impressive thing about these projects were that just by glancing at the buildings and the math work that went along with them, you can tell that our students are really getting it. They are directly applying the math they are learning. Math no longer is just a series of numbers; it becomes something real that you can see and touch and USE.
I've included some pictures of a few projects so you can see for yourself.

Delphi Students Visit the Science Museum
Yesterday our Middle and Elementary school students visited the Science Museum in Boston. They went to the butterfly garden, saw many examples of simple machines (which directly related to a course most of them have recently done), and stopped in all the exhibits.
Here are some photos of the day's adventures.

Delphi Academy Lower School Science Fair
This year's Lower School Science Fair was absolutely marvelous! Our Delphi students had projects ranging from everything like studies of ocean animals, the importance of dental care, the traditional erupting volcano and even recycling paper.
The Lower School students did a great job putting their projects together and presenting on them. All the students, even our three year olds, were able to talk about their project and explain the different things they learned.
Here are some nice shots from this mornings event!
