Mini Blog: How Classrooms Come to Life

And this is how our classrooms come to life! We are always so grateful for the talents, creativity, and heart of our teachers as they prepare their classrooms in anticipation of the first day of school. Here, Ms. Cartwright (DWS Alumn) prepares a portion of her blackboard to welcome her 7th graders to the first block of school – African Geography🌍.

As a focal point of the classroom, an artful chalk drawing done by our dedicated teachers always finds itself in front of our students. These drawings reflect the main lesson block or season, contributing to a learning environment filled with warmth, wonder, and the call for imagination in our learning. In the 7th grade, they will begin the school year studying Africa and its major land formations, economic influences, and prominent biographies as they develop their report writing, knowledge, and enthusiasm for culture and place.
