Today, our little learners in Room 30 at Winslow Elementary School explored the world of Johnny Appleseed in creative and exciting ways! Their favorite part? Apple stamping! Our students showed such responsibility and teamwork while sharing and waiting for their turn to stamp their apples with the paint color of their choice. After the paint dried, they added seeds, stems, and leaves to their apples, making each one unique.
But that wasn’t all! They also dove into the life cycle of an apple, learned all about Johnny Appleseed’s incredible life, and discovered the importance of giving back to others, just like Johnny did. To top it off, students enjoyed taste-testing different types of apples, voting on their favorite, and enjoying some fun stories about the man himself, Johnny Appleseed. What a day filled with learning, laughter, and apples!

Dane Barse students had a wonderful visit from the Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia. They enjoyed a lively production called Polkadots, which is centered around the theme of shapes learning to appreciate each other’s unique qualities. In this vibrant musical, various shapes—circles, squares, triangles, and more—discover how their differences can blend together to create something truly beautiful. Through catchy songs and colorful choreography, the shapes learn to celebrate their individuality.
The show was a wonderful way to teach students about many of our Portrait of a Graduate competencies.
Barse Bears understand that people are unique in many ways, including their backgrounds, talents, interests, cultures, and perspectives. These differences enrich our communities and make each person special.
Polkadots inspired Barse's students and staff alike to embrace diversity and celebrate what makes each individual unique!
