Students in House 41 Read & Interpret "Kaleidoscope"

Ally Week was celebrated nationally and at Dalton at the end of September. In honor of Ally Week, students in House 41 read and discussed the poem "Kaleidoscope" by Allan De Fina. "Kaleidoscope" is one of a collection of poems that celebrates the many "lives" of a city. Just as a kaleidoscope has prisms and patterns, the students in House 41 honored the diversity of their city's sights, sounds, cultural mixes, and families.
We shared what the poem meant to each of us. It is our differences that make each of us special! House 41 concluded that love is the most important aspect of a family and we are all Allies.

Enjoy our recording of "Kaleidoscope".
