Black History Month is inspiring creative connections in SA's art classes! Third grade students are making self-portraits in the style of Kehinde Wiley, a contemporary portrait painter based in New York City who is known for his naturalistic paintings of Black people that reference the work of Old Master (painters of skill who worked in Europe before about 1800) paintings. | |

Upper School Environmental Science Students Make Connections Outside the Classroom

3K Students Open Classroom Post Office
3K students are learning about the post office and the U.S. Postal Service, and for the month of February have set up a post office in their dramatic play area. Students have been practicing cutting with scissors and writing their names while making letters for their families. After students finish a letter, they choose an envelope, place a stamp on it, and mail the letter in the classroom mailbox. 3K students have loved this hands-on learning experience!
