Happy Waterside Wednesday! 💙 Spring is in full

Happy Waterside Wednesday! 💙

Spring is in full swing at Waterside, and our students have been enjoying the beautiful weather by getting out of the building for field trips. Yesterday, our JK students traveled to Sacred Heart University to see “The Amazing Adventures of Peter Rabbit.” This was our youngest learners’ first field trip and it was great for them to see a play full of singing and dancing as they prepare for their big performance of “A Day on the Farm” on May 31!

Our third and first graders had the opportunity to visit the New Canaan Nature Center to interact with animals. The third-grade class has been studying ecological diversity––they’ve been examining the characteristics of biomes, how they affect plant and animal life, and animal adaptation. Our first graders have been learning how animals defend themselves. By visiting the @newcanaannaturecenter, our students were able to complement their most recent findings in science class as well as instill a deeper appreciation for the natural world.

Tomorrow is the International Festival! The day will begin with our traditional Parade of Countries, featuring 38 nations that make up Waterside’s student body.

Following the Parade, each grade level will share a piece of their class’ culture through dance. This year, we’ll see dances and hear songs from Colombia, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, and Mexico. The fourth and fifth graders will close out the Festival by sharing West African culture through dance and drumming. The day will conclude with a feast made up of foods provided by our community members. It’s sure to be a joyful celebration of the diversity of Waterside!
