3/11 - Beyond Decoding: How Background Knowledge Drives Reading Comprehension, The Lewis School, 1-2:30pm. Presented by: Samantha Townsend, M.S. CCC-SLP, C-SLDI Speech-Language Pathologist. Strong reading comprehension depends on far more than decoding skills alone—it is deeply rooted in students’ background knowledge, vocabulary, and exposure to rich content across subjects. We will explore how building background knowledge and providing intentional content instruction significantly enhance students’ ability to understand, retain, and engage with what they read. Attendees will learn how knowledge supports vocabulary growth, strengthens language comprehension, and reduces cognitive load for students with dyslexia, allowing them to focus more fully on meaning. Through research-based insights and practical examples, this session will highlight why systematic exposure to varied topics and explicit teaching of concepts are essential for improving reading comprehension outcomes in struggling readers.

If you feel inspired, just raise your hand when prompted and you can try the melody while the choir supports you. A screen-free singing experience: Pop-Up Choir Princeton is intentionally phone-free and screen-free.

From the Emmy® Award–winning team behind Netflix’s Our Planet comes The Making of Life on Our Planet: Dinosaurs — an immersive live experience that reveals how millions of years of Earth’s history were brought to life with breathtaking realism. Created by Silverback Films in collaboration with 165 paleontologists and Earth scientists worldwide, the series grounds every dinosaur — from feather placement to movement and behavior — in the latest scientific research. Partnering with Industrial Light & Magic, the team blended cutting-edge CGI, wildlife studies, and real-world environments to create astonishingly lifelike creatures unseen for 66 million years.

3/29 - Pratima: Singularity and Beyond, ACP, 3-5pm. Our Winter 2026 Artist-in-Residence Nisha Pradeep’s residency will culminate in a live performance, bridging ancient tradition and futuristic inquiry through the accessible and emotive language of dance. A guided discussion with the audience will follow. This dance contrasts humanity’s organic, multi-millennial evolution with the rapid, exponential growth of synthetic intelligence. Through expressive storytelling (Abhinaya) and intricate rhythmic structures, the work investigates the philosophical threshold known as the Singularity — the point at which artificial intelligence surpasses human capability — and the emergence of superintelligence. At its core, the project asks a timely and essential question: what does it mean to be human in an era of sentient machines? Click here for more information
