A day in the garden...

10/11/2018

 
​Second grade has been busy learning about the life cycle of a monarch butterfly! Students had the opportunity to care for and observe the physical changes from a caterpillar to a butterfly. This week, our butterflies hatched from their chrysalis became beautiful butterflies that we have released into our garden. We released about 30 butterflies!

New Haven Green & i 2017

3/9/2018

 
During the 2016-2017 school year, the art department worked with Debe Sham, a Yale Fellow from China on a project called "New Haven Green and i". Students in grade 1 were asked to brainstorm with students in grade 6 to build a miniature prototype of a structure that would benefit the people of New Haven.  Selected prototypes were then displayed on the New Haven Green for all to enjoy.  Upon Debe's return to China, Burger Collection sponsored her to do a solo exhibition in Hong Kong and to publish a booklet about "New Haven Green & i 2017." This work is now being featured on the Asia Art Pacific in Issue 107 Mar/April 2018 and features some of our talented Davis Street School students.
