Students interested in learning more about IDEAS Academy are invited to attend our Shadow Day on Thursday, January 29th from 7:55 a.m. to 3:06 p.m.
Shadow Days begin with a gathering and an overview of our school. Visiting students will then be matched up with current students and together they will attend academic classes, lunch, advisory, and seminar classes. There will be many opportunities to engage in our school culture and ask questions. The day will conclude in a formal question and answer session and some reflection.

What can we learn from past use of Wisconsin’s natural resources to build a better future?That is the question that ESAA second and third graders are just beginning to ponder. For the first part of this question, students looked through a cultural lens to study Native Americans. The students read and listened to many Native American legends to learn about their beliefs and culture. The students began to understand the importance of nature, geography, animals, and natural resources through these legends.

Three ESAA 2/3 grade students presented their trimester-long study of birds to the SASD Board of Education back in November. The students, taking on the role of young scientists, expertly described the observation process taken to create their field guide journals and study of bird habitats. This, in result, accumulated their three month long Project Based Learning unit and rewarded them with ownership in their own knowledge and discovery of birds.
