From staff reports
From 6 to 7 p.m., Tuesday, May 13, Lady’s Island Middle School (LIMS) students will showcase 70 curated photos that they snapped around the school and community.
This photo exhibit is a culmination of the students’ work in our recent Project Based Learning (PBL) unit. PBL is a student-driven hands-on learning activity.
According to Kathleen Pinner, a reading interventionist at LIMS, 15 students will be presenting 70 photos that document what home and community mean to them. This showcase is the outcome of our middle-schoolers work over the past two weeks in their Photography PBL unit.
The students benefited from the expertise of local professionals, who volunteered their time to teach both the history of the school and the style elements of photography. PBL combines the best research-based and classroom-proven project design elements and instructional practices. The overall goal is for both teachers and students is to become more competent. The goal is for teachers to become more competent in their teaching practice, and students to become more competent in the 21st-century learning skills of critical thinking and problem solving, creativity and innovation, communication, and collaboration.
The event will take place at Lady’s Island Middle School at 30 Cougar Drive in Beaufort. In addition to the special exhibit of photography, the LIMS Art Gallery will also be open for viewing. Celebrate the craftsmanship of our 6th-, 7th-, and 8th-grade students.
On the evening of the exhibit, parking will be available in the front of the school and at the bus loop. Beginning at 5:45 p.m., on the evening of the exhibit, there will be a greeter at both the front door of the school, which faces the Sea Island Parkway entrance, and at the courtyard door at the bus loop, which faces the Sam’s Point side of the building.
