Introduction
|
Windsor
6 All Stars was our very
first expedition at King Middle
School. Our guiding questions for it were "How am I unique?" and "How
am I a team player?" We answered these questions in the course of
finishing this expedition. The Portland Seadogs played a big part in
helping us
finish our expedition, and we owe them a big thank you for allowing us
to use their field for our culmination. |
Our kickoff
For the kickoff of our
expedition, Windsor 6 All Stars went to Deering
Oaks Park. We played a series of initiatives. The Sea Dogs helped
us throughout our expedition. Ms. Riley and Mr. Cameron from the
Seadogs came to talk to us about our guiding questions, "How am I
unique?" and "How am I a team player?". There was also a surprise visit
from Slugger, the team's mascot. All in all the kick off was tons of
fun!

An
important
characteristic of learning expeditions is that students work on the
expedition topic in all of their classes. For the All Stars
expedition, we worked on the content that would eventually show up on
our rookie cards in each class. In math, for example, we learned
about ratios and propotioning which made it possible for us to
accurately scale our self-portraits for the rookie cards. You can
learn about what we did in each class through the link to the left. More

Our cards
Every expedition has a
final product that captures what we learned in
our own words, pictures, sounds, peformances, etc. Our final
product for this expedition was our rookie cards. The cards
were modeled after traditional baseball cards.

Culmination
At the end of our
expedition we had our culminating event at
Hadlock
Field, home of the Portland Sea Dogs. We all sang the National
Anthem and Mr. McCarthy gave a
speech. By then base group 201 was already down on the
field. Everybody ran around the bases and had their cards flashed
on the Jumbotron while the announcer read a fact from the back of each
student's card over the stadium loudspeakers. While the base
groups switched, our classmates Eleanor, Emma,
Paloma, Jake and Caroline gave speeches. It was a great finale
for our first expedition at King.
