Marburn's Summer School program is in full swing! Students are discovering strengths, building confidence, and preparing for the coming school year in a variety of ways. Some of the creative lessons include:
• A puppet show where students practiced writing skills by creating character descriptions and writing their own scripts,
• origami to introduce basic geometry,
• and, a math problem scavenger hunt!
Marburn kicked off Teacher Appreciation Week a bit early with the annual Recognition Dinner last week. Faculty, staff, and board members were honored by colleagues for their years of dedication to the Marburn Academy community. In all, a total of 121 years of service by faculty and staff members were celebrated, including 20 years for Ruth Rubin, College Guidance Counselor, and 25 years for Lisa Neuhoff, Orton Gillingham Training Fellow. Join us as we laud their continued devotion to serving students who learn differently.

BREAKING NEWS! To wrap up their studies on Ancient India, 6th graders partnered up and were each assigned a different topic to discuss. They created a news broadcast on topics like language, socioeconomic systems, and religion. The activity was not only a fun way to showcase what they have learned but also a chance to practice their public speaking and listening skills.
Are hearts "red" or "read"? Valentine's Day gave the Lower Division a fun and engaging reason to practice non-phonetic words or words that are spelled differently than their phonetic pronunciation, through a series of activities called Heart Words. Students practiced these tricky words multiple times through varied activities that activated multiple senses; a hallmark of Marburn's daily Orton-Gillingham teaching instruction. These words can be tough for any new reader, so following specific methods students use in class consistently, across subject areas especially benefits those who learn differently.
A "sweet" way to learn about plate tectonics. Middle Division students used graham crackers and icing to investigate how divergent, convergent, and transform plates move and impact the environment around them.
Out of an abundance of caution and considering the anticipated freezing rain, Marburn Academy has made the difficult decision to close today, Tuesday, January 23rd. All events are canceled.
