🪁 Play at all Ages ⚽️⁠ ⁠ Our days here at AJLA are 🪁 Play at all Ages ⚽️⁠ ⁠ Our days here at AJLA are full of hard work, but we also believe in the power of play- no matter what the age!⁠ ⁠ Our 4th graders find all kinds of ways to enjoy our beautiful outdoor space, and we know how important it is for them to get to engage in free play during their school day. The combination of a rigorous academic program that still makes room for joyful play is paramount to who we are as a school.⁠ ⁠ #hoperising
💚We’ve Got Spirit, Yes We Do! 💚 This week AJLA ce 💚We’ve Got Spirit, Yes We Do! 💚 This week AJLA celebrated its now-annual Fall Spirit Day. We took the day to gather as a community, celebrate our school, and cheer on the athletes of our fall sports teams. The school has grown to its biggest enrollment yet, and it was quite the sight to see students across the PreK-8th grade spread all cheering together. This school is bigger than the classrooms our students inhabit, bigger than the expanded campus we call home, and bigger than the crowded turf we gathered on. It’s a dream realized, and the community grows with every life touched. #hoperising
🌎Global Gathering 🌍 There’s no community quite li 🌎Global Gathering 🌍 There’s no community quite like AJLA’s, and families, students and faculty all came out for this weekend’s International Festival. This event is now in its third year, and it’s truly something that everyone across the school looks forward to. Families brought food to share with one another that represented generations-old recipes and cultures from around the world. Children collected stickers in their very own “passports” and made crafts like bracelets to take home. Most excitingly, everyone was treated to performances by musicians and dancers across a great many cultures. This year we were lucky enough to welcome dancers representing Paraguay and Ireland (@pajarocampana.ct and @lenihanagram ) as well as returning musician favorite, Gamaliel Moses (@gammymoses ). We continue to be grateful for this special mix of people in this special place. ✨ #hoperising
🍁 Pumpkin JOY! 🍁⁠ ⁠ The #AJLAfirstgrade students h 🍁 Pumpkin JOY! 🍁⁠ ⁠ The #AJLAfirstgrade students had a chance to dig into some huge pumpkins last week in a lesson that combined math and their thematic study. ⁠ ⁠ This activity involved counting hundreds of seeds, sensory play with the pumpkin "guts", hands-on work with a vegetable they've been learning all about, and a whole lot of fun!⁠ ⁠ First graders were especially excited to have so many parent volunteers here for the fun event, and we love opportunities to bring learning to LIFE!⁠ ⁠ #hoperising⁠
