Our 3rd & 4th graders (bilingual crews from Ms. Pasán and Mrs. Irizarry's rooms) just had the best day at the Yale Peabody Museum! It was so awesome to see them checking out the fossils and getting hands-on in the workshops.
A huge thank you to the Peabody team for offering these free field trips and workshops! We’re so lucky to have such a cool spot to learn in.
Also, a massive shout-out to our amazing parent chaperones! We couldn't have done it without you—thanks for hanging out with us and helping make the day a success!

Our school is buzzing with the love of reading this week! Check out how our students are celebrating:

Flashlight Friday: Things got glowing in 3rd bilingual grade! Students had a blast reading their favorite books using flashlights for a cozy, "camp-out" vibe.
Reading Circles: Our 5th bilingual graders spent quality time diving deep into their stories, reading side-by-side with their teachers.
We are so proud of our students for showing that reading isn't just a skill—it's an adventure!

In Chinese culture, the horse represents energy and freedom—and we think these vibrant masterpieces definitely nailed that vibe!
Please stay off the roads if possible.
We look forward to seeing everyone back in the classrooms once it is safe!
Our bilingual first graders were busy spreading the love! ❤️
The students crafted beautiful paper flower bouquets made of hearts to share with their families. It was such a sweet way for them to use their creativity to show how much they care!

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!
