  • On Monday, sixth grade Arabic students visited the Met’s Islamic Art exhibition as part of their interdisciplinary Arabic and Tech unit on Islamic Art. With Joseph, students learned about the different styles of calligraphy and deciphered calligraphic words in Qur’ans and illuminated manuscripts, and on tapestries, trays, and other ceramics. With Remy, they studied the tessellations and mosaics of windows, prayer niches, and mosque interior walls. In Arabic class, students have learned about the different types of Islamic Art (calligraphy, zellige tiles, architecture, mosaics) and how to describe them. In Tech, they learned to use a computer program to create woodcut tiles with tessellation patterns and Arabic calligraphy. Look for these tiles to be displayed soon in the Main Lobby!

  • No jet lag here! The 1MJ Quaker Airlines project is the culmination of their global studies work and guided by the Quaker value of community. ⁣First graders in Matt’s and Jennifer’s class embarked on five “plane” trips to destinations around the world where they were immersed in different foods, culture, music and languages.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣Over several weeks the students went on walking tours of their neighborhoods, studying the different boroughs and New York state before expanding to the rest of North America and eventually a selection of countries from Kenya to Italy. Students crafted their own passports and atlases to maintain a collection of their learnings. Before each “flight” students went through baggage check and security before boarding their classroom-turned-airplane interior, which was complete with insightful in-flight activities and readings.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣The Quaker Airlines students even coordinated with those participating in the Post Office project. Students sent thoughtful letters to their Grade 4 buddies full of fun facts from their trips. #FriendsLSCurriculumStories⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣
