Reading: At least 20 minutes of a book of their choice.
Homework: Review any current assignments.
Digital Learning: Log into Clever to access iReady, Lexia, and Google Classroom.
Thank you for helping us keep the learning going at home!

Our 5th and 7th graders are celebrating the Lunar New Year (Year of the Horse!) with a serious pop of color. Inspired by Eric Carle’s The Artist Who Painted a Blue Horse, they took a break from "realism" to let their imaginations run wild.
In Chinese culture, the horse represents energy and freedom—and we think these vibrant masterpieces definitely nailed that vibe!

Our latest Town Hall was one for the books! We were incredibly honored to host the Yale Spizzwinks, the world’s oldest underclassman a cappella group. Their voices brought so much joy and energy to our campus!
The high note of the morning, however, was celebrating our Students of the Month. This month, we focused on a very special trait: Empathy.
In a world where you can be anything, these students chose to be kind. Whether it’s supporting a friend, standing up for a classmate, or simply listening with an open heart, these honorees remind us that character is just as important as academics.
Congratulations to our "Empathy Ambassadors"—you make our school a better place every day!

Quote from the Breakfast:
Middle School Student: We gotta make sure to do this again next year.... those pancakes were great!!!
Our bilingual first graders shared some major love for Ms. Lenka and Ms. Jaca by making them a giant bouquet of handmade hearts. It was the perfect way for the kids to show their appreciation through their own creative art!
Ms. Nabakooza’s 7th-grade students took their creativity for a spin by designing custom decks for mini skateboards!
It was a fantastic way to merge street culture with classic design principles!

Ms. Gomez's students brought the beloved Guardians of the Galaxy hero to life in Ms. Nabakooza’s art room. In this lesson, students explored the art element of texture and the technique of figure making to create their own wood-inspired characters. Because Groot is made of wood and can regrow, these artworks beautifully symbolize life and renewal.
Celebrating World Read Aloud Day!
The 3rd and 4th-grade students from Mrs. Irizarry and Mrs. Pasan’s bilingual classes joined together in the library to share the joy of reading. It was a wonderful morning of collaboration where our students celebrated the power of stories and literacy in both languages.

Our 1st graders from Mrs. Marchitto’s and Mrs. Rosario’s classes created beautiful paper heart sculptures today in Ms. Nabakoosa’s art room. Students practiced folding, connecting, and arranging colorful paper strips to build simple 3D forms.
We are so proud of their creativity and focus—each sculpture turned out unique and full of personality!
