Wild Oak Independent School

It's a beautiful, cold Monday and we are so happy to be at school!

One big advantage of being an independent school is that we don't have as many closures or delays for our Seedling and Elementary programs. A main goal is to keep things consistent for the kids—those routines are super important for their learning and growth—as long as our amazing faculty team can get here safely, we will be here.

Come learn more about Wild Oak this Thursday, February 26th!

Yesterday, the elementary school was full of joy, creativity, and learning during our Holiday Fair!

The Unit Study in December was Holidays Around the World. Each student studied a holiday they do not personally celebrate, including Onam, Obon, Hanukkah, Eid al-Fitr, Mardi Gras, and many more. Guided by curiosity and respect, students explored how traditions and holidays are celebrated around the world and how those traditions can be shared with others.

The guiding inquiry question was:
How do we celebrate traditions and holidays in our own families, how do people celebrate around the world, and how can we share that with others?

Students shared their learning in creative and engaging ways:

Creating handmade crafts, such as paper lanterns, clay dreidels, and gifts

Prepared or shared food connected to their holiday, including king cake for Mardi Gras, rice balls for Obon, Arabian pudding for Eid al-Fitr, and more

Took on the role of game show hosts, quizzing visitors with fun facts and questions about their holiday traditions

The fair was filled with conversation, laughter, and meaningful exchanges as students practiced teaching others what they had learned. More than a presentation, the Holiday Fair was an opportunity for students to build empathy, celebrate diversity, and develop confidence in sharing their knowledge.

We are incredibly proud of their hard work, creativity, and thoughtful engagement.
