1st Grader Charlotte was Head of School for the day and she had a blast
running the school! Charlotte had an official ID Badge, hosted Monday Morning
Meeting with Mr. Evans, visited other classrooms with Ms. Levine, and had a
nice lunch with her friend Elizabeth, Mr. Evans, and Mrs. Block at Beech

The 6th Graders wrote and illustrated a children’s book featuring their
Kindergarten Buddy as the main character. First, they composed the narrative
and then began illustrating using Canva and Photoshop.
This morning, 6th Grade visited with their Kindergarten Buddies, read the
book to them, and gave them the book to keep. It’s heartwarming to see in
moments like these, how much our 6th Graders care about their Kindergarten
Buddies.

They started with a scavenger hunt inside the Page Museum, and went on to

International Day of Women and Girls in Science isn’t merely about
celebrating the past; it’s about shaping the future. By acquainting Village
students with the untold tales of pioneering women in science, we empower
them to envision themselves as rightful heirs to the scientific realm.
Representation matters, and by weaving these narratives into the fabric of
education, we affirm that science knows no gender boundaries.
On this International Day, let’s reaffirm a simple truth: women are not just
beneficiaries of science; they are its very lifeblood. To tackle the
formidable challenges of our era, we must harness the full spectrum of
intellect and ingenuity. By embracing diversity in science, we unlock its
boundless potential and chart a course towards a brighter tomorrow.

Kindergarten is studying China as part of their Global Studies unit. Wishing
Trees are a big part of Lunar New Year celebrations. Every year, billions of
people worldwide gather to toss their red ribbons onto the wishing tree,
hoping it will stick and their wish will come true for good fortune.
Kindergarten tossed their wishes onto a tree outside Village this morning for
good luck in the new year. We hope that all of their wishes come true!

There is something about joy that is contagious, it seems to spread from one
student to the next. Merriam-Webster defines joy as: the emotion evoked by
well-being, success, or good fortune…we say it’s evoked by a Village student!

4th Grade students read “Red,White, and Whole”, by Rajani LaRocca, which is
about the struggle of cultural integration while still holding onto your

analyses and imaginative narrative poetry to demonstrate their understanding
of the novel. Well done 4th Grade!

As our first field trip of the year on the first day of our firefighter
study, TK walked to our local fire station today. It coincided with the
Letterland character we are learning this week, Firefighter Fred who makes
the "F" sound. The TK'ers got to ask lots of questions, go in a firetruck
and try on the fire helmet. To cap it all off the alarm went off and we got
to watch the firetrucks drive away!

2nd Grade held their first publishing party as a culminating event for their
writers' workshop unit focusing on small-moment narrative writing. Students
have built their writing skills around the conventions of writing and learned
more about the writing process. After writing, editing, and publishing their
pieces, students presented their stories to the class, including parents, as
well as reading each other's stories and providing written compliments to
their peers' writing. Way to go, 2nd Grade!
