We hope everyone enjoyed a restful and fabulous break. Monday was a joyful day of whole-school celebration. Our fourth grade students cooked breakfast for the school, and each class had the opportunity to sit together and enjoy an amazing meal. Holiday songs filled the room and set a festive mood as everyone ate and celebrated together.

​

We would also like to thank all of the families who sent in items for the Holiday Yard Sale. This special tradition gives students the opportunity to shop for meaningful gifts for their families during the holiday season. A sincere thank you to Val Germain and the PTO for organizing and making this event possible.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the new year.

The entire school recently traveled to the Barbara C. Harris Center to celebrate the wonders of winter during a memorable Winter Wonderland experience. For some students, the excitement began with their very first bus ride, setting the tone for a day filled with community building.

​

Once they arrived, students gathered together and were divided into four multi age groups. Each group rotated through a variety of engaging and meaningful activities designed to celebrate the season and support social emotional learning.

​

One group visited Mr. Burke, where students played an energetic game using bubbles and music. At times they were encouraged to pop the bubbles, while at other moments they practiced letting the bubbles gently flow over them. Through this playful experience, students worked hard to stay in the green zone and practiced important self regulation skills.

​

Another group spent time with Mr. Melle creating small gingerbread homes to decorate for the holidays. Students carefully designed and decorated their houses, taking pride in their creativity and fine motor skills.

In another center, students helped prepare a delicious pizza lunch. While waiting for their turn, they created small winter dioramas featuring spruce trees and a bunny. These creations later connected to a visit from our amazing storyteller, Susie Spikol. Susie shared legends about the world around us, captivating students as if they were gathered around a cozy campfire, listening closely to every word.

The final center focused on decorating gingerbread cookies to bring back to school. This sweet activity was a favorite for many and added to the festive atmosphere of the day.

The celebration ended with hot cocoa and gingerbread cookies enjoyed together. To finish the day on a joyful note, teachers surprised students with JibJab videos featuring their faces, helping everyone celebrate the upcoming winter break with lots of laughter and smiles.

​

Winter Wonderland was a truly special day that brought our school community together through creativity, collaboration, and the shared joy of the season.

Science partners investigated characteristics of light by using flashlights and different materials to see how light interacts with different materials. Of course the best part for the students was having a very dark classroom and getting to turn on the flashlights.

Oh the weather is so delightful...

​

Please remember to send your child with clothes for all weather. We will be outside until it "feels like " 10 degrees. Students need to bring warm layers to enjoy their outside time. Please send your child with a change of clothes, just in case.

We often have indoor recess in the morning but go outside in the afternoon.
