CHAH held the first student-led event on 5/21/24 to recognize Mental Health Awareness Month in May. The students facilitated activities that promoted positive mental health. There were various stations such as slime making, vision board creation, dancing, and aromatherapy. The event was a huge success!
The CHAH 8th-grade team recently stepped into history with an exciting day trip to the Morris-Jumel Mansion, just a short walk from their school. As the oldest house in Manhattan, the mansion served as a fascinating gateway to the Revolutionary era. Students explored the very rooms where notable figures like George Washington, Aaron Burr, Anne Northup, and Eliza Jumel once walked—and now CHAH 8th graders can be added to that list!
The mansion, which dates back to 1765, provided students with an up-close look at the history that has shaped the nation. Adding to the excitement, it's the very same mansion that inspired Lin-Manuel Miranda while he wrote the musical "Hamilton." The day was filled with lessons and inspiration as students connected with the past in a truly unique setting!
Seventh-grade Social Studies students recently embarked on an exciting hands-on project that combined history with digital creativity. Using Minecraft, students replicated Indigenous dwellings from different cultural regions across the United States, bringing to life the homes of Native peoples while learning about their rich histories. The project challenged students to not only recreate these structures but to explore the significance behind them and how Native communities shaped and adapted to their environments.
To celebrate the completion of these immersive projects, the class took a trip to the National Museum of the American Indian. There, students had the opportunity to see historical artifacts up close, witness diverse Indigenous lifestyles, and deepen their understanding of the science and culture that shaped various Native groups. The combination of digital creativity and real-world exploration allowed students to gain a holistic appreciation of Native American history and ingenuity.
