Twice a week, our kindergarten transforms into a joyful kitchen. This week, little hands have been busy chopping, stirring, and kneading. Cooking together builds independence, coordination, patience, and a deep sense of pride, all while nourishing both body and spirit.

A beautiful chalkboard and an unfolding story as our 2nd graders explore the four processes during Math Block. Hands-on learning, inner pictures, and imagination bring math to life. #SecondGrade #MathBlock #ExperientialLearning #ChalkboardArt

First graders are back to morning language arts with Mr. Kyle, meeting the final consonants and the “singing letters” (vowels). We’re focusing on long vowel sounds through story, image, and movement, building a strong foundation for early reading. #FirstGrade #LanguageArts

For CWoW Wednesday, students chose one plant to observe, draw, and describe in their nature journals, then walked the park using their sketches to identify each other’s plants. A beautiful practice in observation and connection to place. #CWoW #CWoWWednesday #Botany #Journaling

After months of careful sanding in the Woodshop, the very first butter knife of the year was completed by a determined and proud First Grade student. Nearby, another child has become captivated by a quiet workbench at the edge of the room.

After a fun day at Old Mill Park, some very tired kindergartners returned to campus. Chako-San playfully suggested they pretend to be asleep, and the way they joyfully embraced the improv game made it clear how much they will love working on their class play this spring.

After learning about how we measure value, what is valuable to me versus what is valuable to society through money, our third graders held a much-anticipated barter market on Thursday. #HandsOnLearning #MathInAction #ThirdGradeLearning #LearningByDoing

In preschool, we love watching how each child brings their imagination into play with others. Some turn blocks into buildings, while others practice being responsible by caring for their babies. Being in the classroom with them each day is a joy.

Welcome to the New Village School Woodshop! Built with love by Señor Salusso over a decade ago, this space invites children from 1st to 8th grade to slow down, work with their hands, and learn by doing.

Grateful for this much-needed California rain and the simple magic of puddles. Childhood, just as it should be. 🌧️

We had a splendid Tuesday out in a Headlands field for a plant scavenger hunt. Each child carefully drew and described a plant, then a classmate had to find it using just one clue: the area of the field where it was located.
