Two years ago, before officially beginning my role as Head of School at Harbor, I was invited to attend Spiral Night – Great Artists. I was awed and amazed by the beauty, innovation, and creativity emanating from every part of every classroom. This year, the entire school spent three months infusing the theme Take Flight! into their literature, mathematics, science, social studies, art, and more. We chose the topic, understanding that the students would focus their study on birds, but allowing the theme of flight to drive discussion, lessons, and activities surrounding space travel, as well!
To further each classroom’s individual study of birds and flight, our students will be treated on Tuesday to Raptors Up Close. Raptors Up Close is an educational program designed to teach conservation through an entertaining and engaging demonstration with live birds of prey. On Wednesday, our Preschoolers will learn even more about birds with the Audubon Nature Center’s “Birds of a Feather” presentation.
To culminate this in-depth, all-school thematic study, we hope you will join us for Spiral Night! Next Thursday evening, March 17, from 6:30-8:00, The Harbor School Spiral Museum will open to families and friends to showcase this unique part of a Harbor School experience.
