🏗️📚 Architecture, creativity and mathematics came together in an engaging interdisciplinary learning experience for our upper elementary students at ASD.
As part of their literacy studies, students researched some of the world's most influential architects, including Frank Lloyd Wright, Zaha Hadid, I.M. Pei, Antoni Gaudí and Frank Gehry. They explored each architect's distinctive style, design philosophy and lasting impact on the built environment. 🏫📐✨
Using their research as inspiration, students designed their own original buildings and created detailed 3D architectural models that reflected the materials, forms and concepts that stood out most to them. Throughout the project, students also applied recently learned math skills by calculating area, perimeter and volume to support their designs.🌟👏
Creativity, critical thinking and academic excellence were on full display at ASD’s annual History Fair on June 8, as middle and high school students came together for a combined showcase inspired by this year’s National History Day theme, “Revolution, Reaction and Reform.” 📚✨
From exhibits and documentaries to live performances and presentations, students brought history to life through innovative and engaging projects that reflected months of research, collaboration and preparation. One highlight of the event included an original student-written rap performance that connected historical themes with creativity and student voice. 🎤🎶
The History Fair celebrated inquiry-based learning, public speaking, collaboration and analytical thinking while showcasing the talent and dedication of ASD students across divisions.
ASD extends its appreciation to Ms. Lindsey Law, Ms. Bianca Blanco and Ms. Ashlie Jensen for their continued support and guidance throughout the process.

Creativity, teamwork and engineering skills were on full display in ASD’s upper elementary art classes! 🎨🏗️🍎

Working in teams, students explored balance, structure and problem-solving through collaboration and creative thinking. The activity encouraged innovation while reinforcing the importance of sustainability and design in architecture.
From brainstorming ideas to testing their final structures, students showed outstanding engagement, perseverance and teamwork throughout the challenge. 👏♻️
