CELEBRATING

2014: SCDS trip to Washington, D.C. YEARS 1986: SCDS trip to Washington, D.C.

BY LINDA MORGAN As SCDS marks its 50th year, Linda Morgan, member of the school’s Alumni Council, offers a look at some of Seattle Country Day School’s most treasured traditions—then and now. Morgan and her husband, Michael, are the parents of Melissa Nelson (‘88) and Todd Morgan (‘91), and grandparents of Ariella Nelson (‘16) and Sasha Nelson (‘19).

KINETICS | FALL 2014 1 Treasured Traditions: Drop-off in those very early SCDS days was a breeze. Just zip around the school’s only parking lot, conveniently located directly in front of the school’s front door, and CELEBRATING watch the kids saunter through that single stand-alone building on Seattle’s Queen Anne hill. My daughter, Melissa, began attending SCDS in 1979; my son, Todd, in 1982. Each time they bounded through those doors, I imagined what their day would be like: YEARS hours of inquiry-based learning and problem solving; warm interactions with friends and teachers; close encounters with cool state-of-the-art Commodore 64’s as they progressed through a few grades—in those days, a few letters.

TECHNOLOGY “All the students had their own floppy discs,” remembers Grades 4-5 Technology Teacher, Lisa Lewis, who came to SCDS in 1985. “We used BASIC, then a new program, LOGO, came out.” But software was scarce, programs took a long time to load, and “we only had the kids for an hour,” says Lewis. Oh, what a difference a few decades make. These days, SCDS students start getting tech-savvy in kindergarten and gain new skills each year. “It becomes 1985: SCDS technology class part of how they think,” says Lewis. She calls it “technological consciousness” and counts on that mentality to prepare her 4th and 5th grade students for the kinds of projects she introduces in her classes. Those projects, complex, innovative and, okay, downright fun, might include designing a “dream room” using Google SketchUp to model—in 3D— whatever spaces or furniture the kids can conjure up. Or building robots. Or making films. My granddaughter, Ariella, now in 7th grade, designed her own video game 2014: SCDS technology class in technology class and then constructed a commercial to promote it. She and her classmates showcased their work to parents (and grandparents!). Her sister, Sasha, a 4th grader, is learning about robotics this year and will participate in “Armchair Journeys,” an innovative multi-media project based on each student’s favorite book. “The lab is a place for inquiry,” says Lewis. “We want the kids to be the creators of information, not the consumers.”

CULTURE SCDS teachers also want their students to develop an appreciation for diverse cultures—and gain a better grasp of who they are and where their families came from. That’s why veteran SCDS Grade 1 Teacher, Sally Bauer, began the Culture Box Project 20 years ago. Bauer, who came to the school in 1980, felt kids should learn to

She also wants kids to know the basics about simple tools. “Children have to learn to hold a pair of pliers. We use hammers, saws, screwdrivers, and a drill press,” she says. SCDS students—smart and enthusiastic—tend to be a bit sheltered, notes Olson. “They talk a good line, but they haven’t had the opportunity to fix a tractor out on a wheat field.” Just before Thanksgiving, students get to show off their creations to parents. “It’s chaos that day,” says Olson. “The way we structure it is very energizing and supportive—but with just a little bit of competition. And the kids love it.”

She points to ways diversity can be incorporated into school curriculum through a series of “windows and mirrors.” Potempa feels it is important to ensure that curriculum, books, and other school resources reach and reflect a diverse spectrum, including the “Big 8”: ability, age, ethnicity, gender, race, religion/spirituality, sexual orientation, and socio-economic status/class. Incorporation of the “Big 8” and other diversity principles will raise awareness and provide a foundation upon which the school can build. “As Seattle Country Day School seeks to broaden its outreach for mission-appropriate students, work remains to ensure SCDS is a welcoming place for all students and families, present and future,” said Michael Murphy, Head of School. To that end, an SCDS steering committee, comprised of faculty and administration, will take the next 12-18 months to guide the entire staff through an examination of curriculum, with the goal to enhance opportunities for multiculturalism and equity for all. “Diversity needs to be a perennial journey,” says Murphy.
