Our first graders have been working on nonfiction reading and writing.

Who are you? Where is your place in society? How has society treated people, historically and currently? These are the questions that the sixth grade discuss in reading class. Recently, the sixth grade worked on a unit based on social justice.

On Friday, February 7th, 2025, Crestview Preparatory School joined schools worldwide in celebrating Global School Play Day (GSPD), a movement that began in 2015 to promote unstructured play in schools. The day was a resounding success at Crestview, as students immersed themselves in free play without the use of screens or adult direction. Instead, they had the opportunity to use their imaginations, engage in creative problem-solving, and develop important social skills through cooperative play.

We are excited to share the heartwarming success of the second-grade community service project: making toys for cats at the Pasadena Humane Society!

During the week of January 27th, Crestview celebrated its third year participating in The Great Kindness Challenge. This week-long program, designed by the non-profit Kids for Peace, began as a small local movement involving 3 schools and a few hundred children 14 years ago. It has since grown to include 20 million children across 41,000 schools worldwide.

This month, our 5th graders embarked on an inspiring journey into the world of poetry, using Sharon Creech's novel Love That Dog as their guide.

This unit blends literary appreciation with creative expression, allowing students to explore poetry as both readers and writers.
