Thomas Mifflin School - where a ‘special’ course has added Humanities to the Curriculum by Erin Lehman, originally published in the March 2024 issue of East Falls Now (Grab a copy of our neighborhood paper today!)

Weekly Humanities lessons at Mifflin began in the fall of 2022 and have since become a favorite special amongst the students. Ms. Dello Buono’s classroom is a large, light-filled room overlooking the playground, with scores of well-organized bins and carts full of supplies to foster creativity and help make what the kids imagine come to fruition. The students gather at a long, communal table with plenty of elbow room and space for collaboration.
