Winter doesn’t slow down our students as they bundle up in snow pants, gloves, and warm hats to play outside. Together they build snow sculptures, create makeshift sleds, and compete to see who can make a perfect snow ball! ❄️

🎙️ Poetry Slam Day! After studying professional slam poetry from Germany, analyzing rhyme structure, voice and rhythm, students wrote and performed their own original pieces. Projects like this give students the chance to express themselves in another language and bring creativity to topics they care about!

This International #HolocaustRemembranceDay, our teachers led discussions by reading books like "Whoever You Are" and sharing firsthand accounts from Holocaust survivors.
Students reflected on embracing differences and explored how prejudice and misinformation contributed to the events that made the Holocaust possible. By remembering the past, we encourage students to step into another’s shoes and embrace kindness, tolerance, and respect to help shape a better present and future.

In our classrooms, we reflected on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s transformative leadership in the Civil Rights Movement and his unwavering commitment to racial equality and social justice through nonviolent resistance.
Our teachers discuss these complex issues in an age appropriate way so that our students can be informed and active citizens of the world. Our youngest learners are introduced to the Civil Rights Movement through books like “March On!” while our older students have discussions about the importance of justice, dignity and human rights.

The @amnh invited our teachers for an exclusive sneak peek of their newest exhibit, the Apex Stegosaurus fossil. Robert Benson, the museum’s Macaulay Curator of Dinosaur Paleobiology, shared the history of the towering Stegosaurus, which lived 150 million years ago, and discussed some of the museum's ongoing dinosaur research.
Experiences like these deepen our teachers’ knowledge of the Late Jurassic period and help them bring these extinct creatures to life in the classroom.
