Welcome to Everett Enrichment!
The sky is the limit!
Welcome to the Everett School Enrichment Site for the 2011-2012 school year.
Students at Everett Elementary School are excited about learning.
They are working together with energy and enthusiasm, in their classrooms and
in enrichment groups, to extend their thinking.
Enrichment for Everyone
CHANGE! The universal idea of CHANGE is our thought-provoking topic. In all
K-3 classrooms, students were introduced to the "big idea" of change connecting everything in the past, present, and future. They are considering change in nature,
human-made things, people, and how people affect change. Their ideas range from the
big bang theory to metamorphosis, moon phases, the water cycle, making a treehouse,
to being an agent for positive change. Here are some generalizations about change.

- Change happens all the time, everywhere, in everything.
- Change can be little, hard to notice.
- Change can be big, enormous, monumental.
- Change can be fast, sudden, slow, unseen.
- Change can be expected, predicted, a pattern or a cycle.
- Change can be unexpected, unpredictable, random.
- Change can be positive, neutral, or negative.
