On Tuesday, April 2, the full-day students will hop a school bus at 11:30 and go to the Bushnell to see a performance of Rainbow Fish. We are grateful to CREC for providing funding for this event. These performances provide wonderful experiences that enhance our literacy curriculum.

We have a student teacher for two weeks. Ms. Dee Dee is completing her training at the Montessori Training Center of New England. The Training Center is on our campus and directed by our own Gretchen Hall. Ms. Dee Dee is observing and providing some supervised lessons. It is a great opportunity for all of us.
The full-day students are doing research about various biomes.
The children have shown a particular interest in forests. So, today, we watched the Discovery Channel's Planet Earth video on Seasonal Forests. The children were entranced by the beauty and commented throughout about how animals and plants adapt to the environmental conditions of the forest biome. I am always dazzled by how their absorbent minds I'm sure that they will be talking about it for days. The bathroom above us flooded on thursday and the ceiling outside our bathroom began to leak in several places. It looked like rain. We are learning about Biomes and someone said that our room is now a rainforest.... nice idea!
The leak is fixed and the ceiling tiles will be replaced next week. All is back to normal again! |
