These hot temperatures 🥵 have us reaching for our winter pictures! Sledding down "the hill" is a favorite Tatnall tradition for Lower School students and our graduating Seniors! Even Dr. Wagner enjoyed some racing! Stay cool out there! ❄️⛄

Each year Lower School participates in the Swords vs Shields Field Day! This year the weather was perfect, the crowd was cheering, and the Shields came out victorious!

Our 23-24 fourth grader students designed and tested theories on topics including:
rooftop gardens

wolf pack territories

4th graders created Google Form surveys, emailed them to students & faculty, & then complied the results into line plots. Students were encouraged to use reasoning and problem solving as they decided how to show the data on the line plot.

After a Syd Hoff author study, 1st graders drafted & edited opinion writing pieces naming their favorite book. Once they finish their final copies, they will film a Syd Hoff commercial in media literacy using their writing as the script!

Celebrating Earth Day all day in Lower School! We started by planting a tree, making & hanging bird feeders, planting native plants, insect searching, & cleaning up our trails. This afternoon we head back outside for more fun!

In a cross-curricular unit on ancient Egypt, 5th graders are making Egyptian funeral death masks. They sketched out their ideas & began building their armature. Once finished, they will paper mache on top of the armature w/ plaster cloths & paint.
