• Second grade classes have recently completed a project on the Harlem Renaissance. Students were introduced to a variety of poems including, “Where I’m From” by George Ella Lyon. Following a template, students wrote their own version of the poem, accompanied by their sponge painted silhouette and descriptive words. Students also learned about the history of quilt making specific to African-Americans. Students studied Faith Ringgold and looked at the stories sewn into her quilts. To honor African Americans present and past, each student researched an African American and his/her impact, and created three hexagons which included name, importance, and picture. The students assembled their quilt pieces and added a border around it. Their work turned out beautifully! #collegiatenyc #collegiateonline #blackhistorymonth

  • As part of the kindergarten’s clothing unit, a giant has left enormous jeans on the second floor! Students took some time to measure them with popsicle sticks and magna tiles. Then the class discussed what they noticed. #collegiatenyc #collegiateonline

  • Today in assembly, the kindergarten associate teachers read the book “Benji, The Bad Day, and Me” by Sally J. Pla to the entire Lower School over Zoom. Ms. Rivers, Ms. Jonson, and Ms. Stowe then talked about empathy and how to recognize it. After the book was read to them, students were asked to think about how empathy is shown in the story, and then to reflect on how they have shown empathy to others. They then completed activities in their individual classes to reinforce what they learned. #collegiatenyc #collegiateonline
