At East Hill Farm, Atrium’s sixth graders were immersed earlier this week in animal husbandry, sustainability, and farm-to-table concepts, learning through the real, dirt-under-the-fingernails work of running a New England farm. Together, students cleaned and cared for the livestock, carded wool, collected eggs, and much more. Their overnight field trip each fall is a key bonding experience for the new middle schoolers and kicks off a year of deep, engaging hands-on learning.

Literacy development is multifaceted and richly embedded in every student’s day at Atrium. In phonics, students are practicing foundational spelling patterns using magnetic letter boards. During read aloud, Hikers and Originators are developing their story comprehension skills using drawing to help recall and make inferences about the text. And a favorite Friday tradition in the first grade classroom is Buddy Reading!
