Enrichment Model Changes the Classroom Experience

What if having a chocolate fondue party or mashing ice and dirt were part of a regular school day? At Skyview Elementary in Texas they are. One of two elementary schools experimenting with a “school-wide enrichment model” of teaching, Skyview is hoping to engage students in learning by using activities they might be interested in while continuing to focus on curriculum. Once a week, the students have the opportunity to participate in clusters where they learn about things such as measuring ingredients or what comets are made of, but through non-traditional methods.
