What are they doing in Encore this year?
Encore's over-arching theme for the year is "Discoveries" which leads to essential questions like:   Why do people discover?  How do other living things discover? What drives discovery? Who are discoverers? How have discoveries impacted our lives?, etc.  Units of study range in topic from inventions and inventing to archaeology and marine biology.  Encore's Invention Convention competition is scheduled for the week end before Thanksgiving.  MNPS friends and guests will have an opportunity to view student inventions at an Open House at Robertson Academy.  An awards ceremony will follow the Open House.  More specific days and times will be announced at a later date.
