Extra! Extra! Read All About It!!!

As part of their Campus Spotlight Newsletter project, 5th graders  interviewed staff and faculty members across campus about their roles, their purpose, and what their work within our school community means to them. This activity connects to the class reading of Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin, which draws on Chinese mythology and invites readers to consider big questions about fortune, happiness, purpose, and the roles we play in the world around us. This activity highlights our belief that learning extends beyond the classroom and invites learners to see themselves as active members of a larger community. By listening to the stories and perspectives of others, our learners are practicing curiosity, empathy, communication, and the idea that everyone’s work and purpose is valuable.
