Learning and Playing, Playing and Learning

As I've been reflecting on our first week back to school and reviewing some photos, I'm finding that our staff and students are putting such great enthusiasm and purpose into what they are doing regardless of whether they are in a club, at recess or in the classroom. We are learning as we play at recess and clubs, and the learning in the classrooms is so enriching, interactive and fun that it often feels like play! Kudos to playful but important work of amazing teachers and students!!

Lots of deep and strategic thinking during Chess Club



Interactive discussions and problem-solving during indoor recess with pattern blocks, a game of checkers and with geo-boards


No snow? No problem! Students can visualize and write how to build a snowman with their teacher in first grade.


Kindergarteners were excited to share predictions and connections about comparing weights and discovering how a pan balance works.
