Follow Our Journey On Social
Early literacy can transform a child’s future, and Dolly Parton proved it by distributing over 330 million free books to families worldwide. 📖🦋
In 1995, Dolly created the Imagination Library in honor of her father, who never had the opportunity to learn to read. Her mission was simple yet transformative. She wanted to provide children with free, high-quality books from birth to age five to foster an early love for reading. 📚
Today, the Imagination Library reaches more than 3 million children across five countries. 🌎
At The Roig Academy, we share Dolly’s foundational belief that a child’s literacy journey begins long before they enter a classroom. Early stories build language, critical thinking, curiosity, and imagination.
This National Literacy Month, we celebrate her inspiring legacy. Every child deserves access to books, the opportunity to learn, and the foundation to dream big. 📖🦋

What makes human body systems work together? 🫀🫁
Our students answered this question to wrap up their unit under the transdisciplinary theme “Who We Are.”
They researched organs, mapped system interactions, and sculpted 3D organ models using clay. 🧠
The next unit of inquiry moves to the theme “Where We Are in Place and Time.”

Did you know the phrase “pull out all the stops” comes from a pipe organ? 🎵
Our student takes a look at how pipe organs use knobs called stops to control sound. Pushing them in keeps the music quiet, but pulling out all the stops lets air flow through every pipe for maximum volume!
That is why “pulling out all the stops“ means giving your total effort.

What if learning to read and count began with Play-Doh? 🎨
When children shape, roll, and press Play-Doh, they build fine motor strength that lays the foundation for writing.
Play-Doh provides a hands-on opportunity to strengthen understanding in literacy, numeracy, and other areas of study.
Such a familiar material can become a foundation for a wide-ranging learning.
Happy National Play-Doh Day! 🔠🎨

Signature School Events
“Ourselves” Art Installation
As we explore one of the IB Transdisciplinary Themes “How We Express Ourselves,” students are inquiring into ways to express their feelings, ideas, values, and beliefs in ways that demonstrate their appreciation for the world around them.
Students were encouraged to reflect and represent a pose which best represents their uniqueness and individuality. Poses depict a wide range of self-expression and nonverbal communication. The vibrant colors communicate a variety of moods, emotions, and feelings, all of which help our students understand themselves, and appreciate others.
The World Cardboard Regatta
The World Cardboard Regatta project is the culmination of our students’ work. We have been able to bring life and meaning to many aspects of History, Geography, Science.
While in their groups, students have engaged in the inquiry process in order to explore, research and report on their individualized summative projects. We have facilitated opportunities for students to come together in mixed grade levels to, share their ideas, conclusions, and problem solve for The Roig Academy World Cardboard Regatta.
Our Sky of Gratitude
The Roig Academy students have replicated the Luxembourg Swings Art Installation to bring that sense of happiness to our school on this Thanksgiving Celebration. This art installation also includes a message of gratitude through a painting or poem.
The importance of showing gratitude comes from the actual definition of gratitude. It is an affirmation of goodness. We affirm that there are good things in the world, gift, and benefits we’ve received. When we look at life as a whole, gratitude encourages us to identify some goodness in our life.
“Jenni set forth realistic goals for our boys and monitored their progress from beginning to end.”
