In a child's life every moment has the potential to be a learning moment. Because of the creativity and innovation of our teachers, there are countless learning moments during the Lower School year.
Beginning with the first day of junior kindergarten, our students learn about
manners, kindness, and civility. In October, some of our students read scary
fables leading up to the Lower School Halloween
Parade. In November, senior kindergarten students apply strategic thinking
as they play math games with their parents during Senior Kindergarten Math
Night. In December, our second graders imagine the struggles of immigrants
coming to the United States as they simulate the Ellis
Island experience. During January and February students from Senior Kindergarten
through fifth grade celebrate what they are learning in the classroom through
a series of grade-level assemblies.
In March the tenth graders come over to the Lower School to share their stories
about geometry with the fourth graders. In April the entire Lower School participates
in the World's
Largest Math Event. In May, our students share the books they have written
and published throughout the year with their peers and meet professional writers
during Authors Day.
