Hal Schwartz, Director of Early Childhood and Elementary School, is back with a new episode of The Principal and the Pod. Hal’s podcast features students, spotlights, important reminders, and other information relevant to EC & ES.

 

Hal meets with students from second and fourth grade during Episode 2, Student Spotlights: Environmental Stewards and Willy Wonka. Hear from the students as second graders discuss what it takes to do a food waste audit and how you can help the environment. Fourth graders explain how they're able to pull off a major play production. ICYMI: Click here for more info on the second grade work and click here to see images from Willy Wonka. Some pictures are posted below as well.

 

These two #onlyatorchard experiences are great examples of Progressive education. Student-driven work with integrated academics, and the opportunity to express yourself through The Arts, has been a staple of the Orchard experience for nearly a century.
