Connections Education Center

We proudly took part in #ReadfortheRecord2024, a day when millions of readers in classrooms, libraries and communities come together to celebrate literacy by reading the same book on the same day. This year, everyone enjoyed "Piper Chen Sings" by Grammy Award-winning Hamilton star Phillipa Soo and Maris Pasquale Doran. ???? We were thrilled to have these wonderful guest readers share the joy of reading with our students: ? Virginia Savietto, M.A., who read to students in Spanish ? Betsy Cohen ? Valerie Silverman ? Sonia Kay And of course, our teachers read the book with students across our school. Thank you to all our readers for helping students develop a love of reading! #ReadForTheRecord #LiteracyMatters #communitysupport Jumpstart

We're encouraged by this new research that may lead to a more objective test for autism.?? In one of the largest studies of its kind, researchers in Hong Kong analyzed stool samples of children and identified 31 biological markers that appear to be associated with autism.
