We opened the week with IB Professional Development Day for the whole school. This training was conducted by the faculty and administrators who attended the December IB virtual Global Conference – Reimagine the Future. The PD covered our new Assessment Policy, Formative vs. Summative Assessments, rubrics, student portfolios, student reflections, inquiry into how concepts drive transdisciplinarity and International Mindedness. It was a very informative day!

Last Wednesday, January 13, 2021 our Second Graders had a combined Siddur (prayer book) and Chumash(Bible)Celebration with their families tuning virtually! It was a wonderful milestone event filled with ruach (Spirit)! It is such an exciting time for our Second graders when Jewish Learning takes on new meaning! A special thank you to our amazing second grade teachers Zohar Ben Moshe, Meredith Carnazza and Rashi Brashevitzky, our Director of Judaic Studies! And finally, a special thank you to the parents for organizing a fun filled class party!

Join us for an author talk with Terri Libenson as she discusses her book...
|

Thursday, February 11, 2021 7:30 PM
Everyone knows how much brainy Bri likes the spotlight (not). So why did she ever agree to something that that forces her to learn a new language, give a speech, help organize a party, and juggle drama at school and home?! As the big event inches closer, Bri wonders if it’s all worth it. Becoming Brianna is the fourth book in the best-selling Emmie & Friends series. The story brings Brianna from Positively Izzy back into the limelight, in a way she never thought possible. She must overcome all kinds of frustrating challenges, all the while trying to answer the biggest question of all: What do I believe?
Terri Libenson is a New York Times bestselling children’s book author and award-winning cartoonist of the syndicated daily comic strip, The Pajama Diaries, which ran from 2006-2020. She was also an award-winning humorous card writer for American Greetings. Terri has three Pajama Diaries book collections: Deja To-Do, Having It All–And No Time To Do It, and Bat-Zilla. She is also the New York Times bestselling author of the middle-grade series, Emmie & Friends (Balzer + Bray). Born and raised in Kingston, PA, Terri lives with her husband and two daughters in Cleveland, OH.
REGISTERat offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps rears take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
