🌊🦪 The Oyster Man Cometh! 🦪🌊⁠
⁠
#AJLAsecondgrade has been diving into their study of how water impacts life, and yesterday, they got an up-close look at the world of oysters! Hill Bloom from Hillard Bloom Shellfish spent the morning with us, sharing the rich history and sustainable practices of the family-owned shellfish farm. 🌱🌍⁠
⁠
Norwalk has been known as “Oyster Town” or the oyster capital of the world dating back to the late 1800s. What a treat to learn firsthand about this thriving coastal industry just down the shore from Bridgeport! 🏖️🐚⁠

#AJLAfourthgrade took a trip to Hartford to explore the Connecticut Museum of Culture & History! 🏛️✨ ⁠
During the visit, students participated in the engaging “On the Move: Immigration and Migration to CT” program. They worked in teams to investigate artifacts and documents from immigration trunks, uncovering powerful family stories from Ireland, Germany, China, Georgia, and Puerto Rico. 🌍 💼 ⁠
Along the way, they learned how primary sources help us better understand the past. What a meaningful day of hands-on history! 📚🔍 ⁠

We kicked off swim lessons this year with our 2nd graders, and now #ajlafirstgrade is diving in! 🏊‍♂️💦

Learning to swim is a life skill every child should have, and our goal is for every AJLA graduate to be water-safe and confident in the pool.

We’re so grateful for our partnership with the Bridgeport YMCA and all the joy, laughter, and splashes that come with learning to swim! 🌊

#AJLAsixthgrade recently enjoyed an enriching visit to Fairfield University's Art Museum, where they explored the current exhibit, "To See This Place: Awakening to Our Common Home." ⁠
⁠
This impactful exhibit showcases work by contemporary artists Athena LaTocha, Mary Mattingly, and Tyler Rai. ⁠
⁠
Using a variety of artistic forms —including photography, sculpture, video, and painting—these creators tackle pressing issues related to climate change and environmental challenges, aligning perfectly with the Sixth Grade's thematic study of sustainability. The experience sparked inspiration and fostered creative and critical reflection on our responsibilities toward nurturing our common home.⁠
