Oh what a night! The 1st of our District Art Show Gallery Openings occurred Monday night with a packed crowd in attendance. Spectacular ceramics, photography, drawings, 3d creations and more. And cookies, too! Stop by the halls any time to look at these fine works.
Exploration of careers continued yesterday when we visited Pumpkin Delight's Career Fair. Held in 2 sessions, students were able to visit with professionals in a variety of fields -- ask questions - and get some 'hands on' practice during the event. Thanks, all, for a great day!
The Garden Shop scenario brought many smiles to JFK students and staff, as the PK students filled a few 'phone orders' and then delivered them to various classrooms via the Garden Shop Delivery Cart. Lots of thinking and planning skills developed here -- and, of course, smiles!
Our youngest learners explore different jobs through 'Scenarios.' Right now, the scenario in PK is Garden Shop. Teachers thread a variety of lessons that are connected to running a Garden Shop. These JFK students make the plan, fulfill the orders and serve 'customers'. So fun!
Take a moment to honor the planet we enjoy. Happy Earth Day, 4/22/2024.
Our youngest learners went on a Safari last week - thanks to our Early Childhood programming and our partnership with the Milford Public Library. Families had fun finding clues throughout the library -- and engaging in games and some wonderful interactive stories! A grrreeeeeeaaaaat time was had by all!
