Skillbuilding in Sociology Class (w/ lots of pics)

Thames Academy Intro to Sociology classes took a brain break from studying sociological research methods, Solomn Ash's Conformity Experiment, and the sociological imagination to play a game called SUSPEND.

The game challenges players to balance different size game pieces without allowing them to fall. The game was used in sociology class to help students develop hand-eye coordination, teamwork and social skills, and persistence and resilience. Take a look at the pictures from our class!

iPad Pilot Program After Spring Break: Do you own an iPad?

After spring break Thames Academy faculty will be running a pilot program focusing on innovative, educational uses of iPads in our classrooms and social programming. We invite any Thames student who currently owns an iPad to be a part of this exciting group.

The group will begin after spring break and will run for the last 6 weeks of the spring semester. Students who currently own an iPad at home are encouraged to bring them to Thames, if they would like to participate.

We are searching for a group of 6-8 students who are willing to try new things, have fun, and explore the possibilities of using their iPad and specific apps in the learning process.

If you have further questions, feel free to contact Jennifer Sullivan or   Ron Samul.

Thank you and we hope your son/daughter will join us!
