The sixth grade class held its popular archaeological dig this week, which enriches and supports their study of ancient civilizations in Ms. Armstrong's social studies class. Students have examined the recurring patterns and themes of religion, government, daily life, and cultural contributions beginning with prehistory and continuing through the fall of the Roman Empire, all from the perspectives of a historian, anthropologist, and archaeologist.

On Monday, nine student teams buried artifacts that they created which represent a specific ancient civilization. Tuesday, students were tasked with finding and excavating these artifacts, while carefully recording data and ultimately discovering the civilization from which they originated.

Great job, sixth grade!

For the culminating project of this quarter's interdisciplinary theme of justice, eighth grade students planned a multi-layered celebration of Cuban culture that took place in the Middle School Quad on Thursday. The festivities kicked off with lively group and solo salsa dancing by the eighth grade students. Afterward, students and guests enjoyed learning about justice and Cuba at colorful and creative booth displays. Guests also experienced live-action political role-play, took salsa lessons, and tasted a traditional Cuban treat of peanuts and sugar (turrón de manÍ).

Guests learned about influential Cubans, enjoyed the "Realm of Justice Amusement Park" inspired by Old Town Havana and Cuban UNESCO World Heritage Sites, played chess in homage to Cuba's rich chess culture, and explored the worlds of Cuban sports and music.

Congratulations to our eighth graders on creating such an inspiring and engaging event!

Lower School students enjoyed having storyteller Michael Katz on campus this week! Students learned about retelling and how to act out stories, strategies for how to remember story events, and ways to captivate an audience!

During third grade's visit to Lotusland this week, students learned about plant adaptations and were introduced to vocabulary words such as the cuticle, stomata, epiphytes, and photosynthesis. "I enjoyed learning about the rare cycads and about how a cactus stores water," Edie '31 says. 

Olive '29's mother, Corrine Mathern, visited the Lower School campus this week to teach the first grade class some simple signs to use every day. Corrine took sign language as a foreign language and uses it with her family. The children loved this personal connection! Olive helped with an alphabet chart to teach her classmates how to sign their names. The experience paired well with the students' lesson about the five senses and prompted a discussion about how it would feel to lose one of our senses.
