A child's success in the school depends as much of his academic achievement as it depends on his social and emotional development. Learning a second language and learning about other cultures through the arts accomplishes both objectives; learning languages and the arts enrich the whole child. In District 3, students in all grades and across the district are immersed in the arts: instrumental music, chorus, dance, theater and the visual arts. We also have a long-standing tradition of success with Dual Language Programs -Spanish and more recently French, along with an increasing interest in the teaching of world languages including Italian and Mandarin in many of the schools.
 
On Saturday May 8, 2010, we want to recognize how children lives are enriched by learning languages and the arts with a district wide event that will feature a panel of experts discussing their benefits in the child's education, performances by the children and a visual arts display with contributions from every school.
 
We look forward to seeing you at PS 75 on May 8th, Join us!  Click on the link for flyer in:  Spanish, French, Chinese and

John Curry, Principal, MS 258 enjoyed Stone's Fall by Iain Pears
 
I read this book because I loved one of his earlier novels, An Instance of the Fingerpost.  Both are historical mysteries, both complicated tales with endings one would not expect.  The characters are very vivid and you get well marinated in the history and culture of his books' historical era - with Instance of Fingerpost is Cambridge in the 1500's, and in Stone's Fall it is Victorian England.

John Curry, Principal, MS 258 enjoyed The White King by Gyorgy Dragoman
 
The White King is a funny - and rather horrifying - story of growing up in Romania during the 1980's, written by a member of Romania's Hungarian national minority.  Apparently based on actual childhood experiences of the author, the book creates a startling image of life in one of the former Soviet Bloc eastern European nations.  The book is short, and I liked it well enough to have wanted it to be longer.
