ASMM

Our community gathered for our All School Morning Meeting. There was great music, and inspiring writing shared. Gladys from Ms. Ellen's class shared a very personal story about feelings of segregation, and Eduardo and Luis from Ms. Liz's class shared about their experiences during Nature's Classroom. Mr. C. and Manny from Mrs. Goldstien's class led us in a snow dance. Wow, has there been a lot of snow since!

Student Leadership

Mr. C. met with our students in grades 4 and 5 to talk about an upcoming conference on student leadership. Students will be nominated for this conference by their peers with the result of eight students attending in January. During the conference, students will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities that are designed to foster leadership skills in productive thinking, decision-making and communication. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students.

ASMM

Today was a busy community gathering as we accepted a grant from Dominion for our students to attend Nature's Classroom and for students at DLAA to have a technology-math supplement; Ms. Donna's class sang songs for us in Spanish; Ms. Liz's class advertised a food drive they are organizing for families in need; and Mr. Hugh, Mr. K., and Mr. C. helped us to reflect as they sang "Let There Be Peace."

Ma'as salaam -- end of Arabic for the semester!

Our students thrived during the afterschool language classes. Classes will be offered again next semester with our ongoing growing partnership with Connecticut College. Many thanks to Mrs. Goldstein, Ms. Kate, and Ms. Tarana, as well as Connecticut College professors of foreign languages Dr. Vonschl, Dr. Dooling, Dr. Kobayashi, Dr. Harb, and Dr. Page and their dedicated students. Thanks to Kate Collelo, Jonah's mom, for the great picture!

Collect Tabs

Ms. Cinderella's Storytelling Group

Ms. Cinderella inspires the storyteller and artist in each of us. Students learn about storytelling and art in different cultures. Second and third graders learned about Hawaii, made leis, and wrote poems. They take a trip around the world through the power of words and images.
