This article was originally published on 2/06/12: Last Thursday evening, The Riverbend School held its first ever Academic Fair. Students from Kindergarten through Grade 8 treated professional evaluators, parents, teachers, administrators and their fellow classmates to beautifully presented research projects. Riverbend students had been asked to think of a topic that sparked their interest or ignited a passion. They were also asked to not only research their topic and become an expert, but to practice their public speaking skills to orally connect their research to their visuals, demonstrations, experiments and activities to visitors. Teachers helped their students cultivate their ideas, and once the students got going, nothing held them back. Casey, 2nd Grade, challenged himself to learn how to dance like Michael Jackson and tore up his living room floor which all were able to view on his lap top (with envy). (Please notice that he had a copy of Joel Vogels book and not a tabloid book that he could have gotten from the library!) theriverbendschool.org/blog/bid/52793/Montessori-Innovators-at-Riverbend
