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.

​

Need winter clothes? Please let Robin Lamothe know at rlamothe@conval.edu. We can help!

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

On Monday, we came together in our multiage groups to celebrate the Pierce community. Students became chipmunks for the day as they “scurried” through four learning centers.

In Mrs. Sutton’s center, students transformed into our furry neighbors while playing chipmunk-themed games.

They then darted to Ms. Besson’s room to watch engaging informational videos.

With Mrs. Germain, they engineered miniature catapults and launched “acorns” at a target, experimenting with variables to see which design worked best and practicing a growth mindset along the way.

Finally, students created placemats for their tables, listing all the things they are thankful for with Mrs. Powell.

At Pierce, we are truly thankful for the amazing Bennington community that continues to support our students’ learning and growth.

The Pierce Black Bears came together for their first assembly of the year. Mrs. Sutton’s class opened the gathering with a drum call, symbolizing our school coming together as a community. We enjoyed seeing Mrs. Powell’s cleverly camouflaged turkeys. They are sure to survive the upcoming holiday! Mrs. Sutton’s class also taught us about turtles and shared the poem 13 Moons on Turtle’s Back. In addition, Mrs. Germain’s class presented their research on New Hampshire animals and shared a slideshow from their field trip to Great Bay. There are so many great things happening at Pierce School!
