Social and Emotional Learning takes many forms at Ashford School. Today third and fourth graders communicated emotions with Tanglewood Marionettes through @HOTSchools. We are proud of our strong arts and arts integration and to be one of the few HOT Schools in Connecticut.

Happy #ArborDay with @EversourceCT.

We love our @gappexchanges with our partner school in @Rheda_Wiedenbru, Germany but the flights emit greenhouse gasses. Today Adam @EversourceCT helped us to plant trees to off set our Carbon so we can be global and sustainable. #SDGs

A bigs thanks to our PTO for bringing @karimnagi to our school. And many thanks to @TCLProgram for brining Arabic to our school. Today the middle schoolers learned (and tried out) several instruments from the Arab world.
