Tobin Snapshots
Introduction to computational thinking and coding with Bluebots and Beebots in the classroom: CH 4 students eagerly greeted Ms. Sarah Rosenberg, Instructional Technology Specialist, to their classroom. They learned to program these little robots with a sequence of commands to perform certain functions. It was fun and engaging!

Tobin Snapshots
In Children's House 3, we have had a wonderful start of 2022 in the classroom. Our Montessori classroom has been busy with many activities in the Language, Math, Sensorial, Geography and other areas where the students can learn at their own pace, gain independence, self-esteem, and respect for others.
Photos:
* Adam enjoys reading books from the classroom library.
* Annabelle is working on her story during the Writer's Workshop.
* Remi proudly presents his show and tell, a photo of himself learning how to ski.
Lost & Found
The lost and found has gone mobile! Ms. Zakkiyya is visiting Children's House Room 6 to see if lost items can be reunited with their owners.
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.
