LICKING R-VIII SCHOOL DISTRICT - Home of the Wildcats

For the past three weeks, Mrs. Wood has guided her students through Passion Projects. They were encouraged to dream big and think about something they've always wanted to learn or try.  It required brainstorming, research, self-teaching, creating, and finally, presenting their amazing projects. Students dove into the art of hydro dipping and the intricate skill of whittling, to the creativity of bracelet making and the culinary delights of cooking. Some ventured into the world of technology, building their own video games, while others explored the realm of beauty with acrylic nails and hair styling. They also learned a new language and unleashed their inner artists with painting, crocheting, photography, designing sports games, sewing, shirt designs, and even built their own terrarium. We are so proud of the creativity of our students! #wechooselearning #wildcatpride
