From today's Fashion Luncheon...

We had a great crowd and a great time at the EMS Fashion Luncheon today at Neiman Marcus (Paramus).  Our thanks to parent Jenny Steingart who sent along this video (below) of the EMS moms and other models in their final walk down the runway.

8th Grade Analyzes the Inauguration

The eighth grade history classes watched and read the text of yesterday's inauguration.  They each wrote a page long analysis and reviewed NY Times articles written about the event.  This morning, the class discussed President's Obama's speech, who its audience was, his rhetorical strategy, and what messages he sent about his next four years in office.  

Surgi-Dolls and Activity Books

"I want you to know that your kindness, creativity and generosity has brought smiles to the faces of many children and will continue to do so as we give out more and more dolls and books.  Thank you again for thinking of us."

Friday All-School Assembly

Chilton House students opened our first all-school assembly of 2013 by leading everyone in a rendition of their "snowman" song - students' first introduction to the concept of scale. Here, the snowman has melted back to the ground (and they are singing low notes.)

The idea of snowmen are wishful thinking so far this winter.

Buddy Movement Class

On our first day back from break, 6th grade students participated in movement class with their Chilton House buddies.  The class included a lesson on animal walks and exploring basic skills of throwing, catching, bouncing and kicking using beach balls.  A fun time was had by all!  ~Mrs. Gabriel
