One of the best things to do with kids on a Friday afternoon after a science test is to engage with them in a fun activity of their choice.  The offerings this “quarter” are: Snow, Relief Wood Carving, Set Design, and Mandala the Science Lab.
​At Pacific Northern Academy, these electives fit well within our standards.  The following are a few we are currently assessing:
