Tobin Snapshots
Collaborating with Harvard ExperiMentors
Children's House 3 students have always enjoyed learning about science. We have been collaborating with Misha Nair and Suneragiri Liyanage, Harvard students who are volunteering in our classroom as a part of the Harvard ExperiMentors program. During last week's session, we were focusing on an experiment that explored sink or float: the students made boats out of popsicle sticks and tested which boat could hold the most pennies.
Photos:
The students and Sunera are designing boats.
Misha and the students are about to find out what boat with many pennies will not sink.
VLUS Triad White Caregivers Working Toward Anti-Racism
Hello G&P, Haggerty, Tobin, and VLUS Families,
Please join a monthly affinity group for VLUS Triad White Caregivers Working Toward Anti-Racism.
The affinity group will read and discuss various texts throughout the year in order to address our own unconscious biases and to take an active role in fighting white supremacy in our schools, communities, and ourselves.
There will be reading to complete before each session, and families are strongly encouraged to make a commitment to attend as many sessions as possible.

Topic: How can we identify and challenge implicit bias in our own lives?
