Let it snow!




While some people are a little overwhelmed by this winter's snow, Mrs. Goldstein's 2nd grade class is relishing every moment.

Skyping with Moscow



Excitement was in the air when Ms. Tarana and the students who are studying Russian received their letters from their penpals in a Moscow elementary school, but it was no match for the moments they were able to see their penpals in real time from Moscow. Ms. Tarana led the students in a great first introduction to each other through skype. Cultivating a love of language learning is a goal of the the world language program, and having the chance to interact first hand with different cultures enhances the real world experience for our students.
