What a sweet day with our rising TK and kindergarteners today 🍎
CJDS hosted a ‘taste of kindergarten’ where we welcomed future students and parents into the building to experience a mini-day-in-the life. Parents had a chance to ask questions and hold a round table discussion with alumni, current and former parents, and our admissions director. While parents were busy in one room, students were enjoying storytime, dancing, painting, and themed centers 🍎

🧪 Science has historically been a much loved subject for elementary and middle school students. It taps into their inborn urge to explore, question and make sense of the world 🌎
💨 Add to this excitement the labs and experiments of Ms. Westneat, and science is off the charts! 📈
🧊 Sixth graders had a dry ice lab yesterday. These sorts of labs turn abstract science concepts into visible, hands-on discoveries that build critical thinking, scientific curiosity, and practical safety habits. 💡

Crochet 🧶 has taken over at CJDS! Middle schoolers are engaged in a crochet elective and have made their own kippot, coasters, and scarves. Our wonderful Ms. Mindy, who also learned to crochet alongside middle schoolers, has become a master! She has completed blankets, beanies, —— and a small collection of octopus 🐙 babies! She thoughtfully took the time to create one for each sweetie that she has in early care each morning ❤️ what a sweet gift that brought big smiles to each child who received 😊
Teachers at CJDS are exceptional, go above and beyond, and pour their hearts 💕 into the care, education and love of our students. Come check us out!
