Escape Day from classes brings fun and learning

RINGWOOD — Ringwood Christian School sixth through eighth grade students participated in a very comprehensive research writing program. Earlier in the school year, the students attend various workshops that focus on research writing, outlining, bibliography formation and internal citations. During the next few weeks they visited both the Ringwood and Wayne libraries, began their research and finally concluded with a thorough research paper.

As a culmination to their hard work, the students handed in their research papers and then enjoyed Escape Day. Classes were cancelled, the dress code was relaxed and the day was filled with exciting, hands-on-learning activities at school and at the Buehler Challenger and Science Center.

The day began with an assortment of group activities that prepared the students for their afternoon science adventure at the science center. The students worked in teams to complete their Rendezvous with Comet Halley mission, while conducting experiments, monitoring life support, and implementing navigation orders.

In this life-like adventure, principles of science, mathematics and technology were all utilized to complete a number of tasks.
