🍂 Fall is Here—And Our Little Scientists Are Ready! 🍎🎃 The fall season has arrived, and our kindergarteners are all geared up for it! As we prepare for our upcoming trip to the apple orchard, our young learners have put on their white coats and transformed into little scientists. For the past two weeks, they’ve been immersed in the wonderful world of apples and pumpkins—learning, exploring, and discovering all the amazing things these fall favorites have to offer. This week in science, they had an absolute blast dissecting pumpkins and apples! There was laughter, curiosity, and a lot of hands-on fun as they explored seeds, textures, and all the interesting parts of these fruits. 🍏✨ Take a look at their journey as they dig into fall! #TheITAVWay #fallinchicago #educationmatters #bronze #bronzevillechicago

Literacy is a Civil Right! At ITAV, we believe that every child deserves the power of literacy. From sounding out words to exploring new worlds, our South Loop K–2 students are building strong foundations for a lifetime of learning. Reading is more than just a skill—it's a right that opens doors to opportunity and freedom. Let’s celebrate their progress as they grow into confident readers and critical thinkers! #TheITAVWay #socialjusticeeducation #literacymatters #southloopchicago

The atmosphere is filled with joy, growth, and empowerment as our learners continue to create a loving space where everyone’s voice is valued. We're so excited for what’s ahead! ✊🏾📚 #ITAVLA #SouthLoop #JoyfulLearning #CulturalPride #EmpoweredVoices #VLAStyle #OctoberUpdates
