Our students really enjoyed the event which included making music on recycled items. The performance ended with a schoolwide dance party. The children will be talking about this event for sometime.! Thank you to all the families and community members who submitted our school for this contest. We appreciate it!
Earlier this month, 8th graders from Mr. Remillard's Industrial Arts class came to visit our afternoon preschool students. During their visit, the eight graders helped their preschool buddies design star, heart, and truck shapes. They planned out the shapes and the colors together. A few weeks later, the eight graders returned with a special gift for their preschool buddies! The shapes the preschoolers helped design were fabricated into wood by Mr. Remillard's students. The preschoolers sanded and painted their shapes with their eight grade buddies. Cookies and hot chocolate for all the students followed. Thank you Mr. Remillard and your students for making this such a fun, inactive experience for both the eight graders and our preschoolers!
Fourth graders met with their first grade buddies this week for festive holiday activities. This year they worked on Buddy Reindeer for the Jingle Jangle. All the students enjoyed the chance to work together and have fun!

Last week our third graders concluded their study of the Native Americans of the Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, and Northwest. Students researched the different geographic civilizations, created models of regional Native American life, presented their models to the class, and then opened up a museum gallery walk for the entire grade to view all the students' models. Nice work Grade 3!
