Principal’s Weekly Update—Week of November 13

Principal’s Weekly Update—Week of November 13

Thank you to all our Veterans!

I hope families were able to enjoy the long weekend.

On Thursday afternoon, our 5th grade students returned from their week at Nature’s Classroom in Becket. Their singing from the bus could be heard down Ryan Road as eager parents awaited their return. Our students were fabulous and did a great job working together and living together. What an incredible bonding and learning experience out in nature. Thank you to all who helped make it happen and to all our parents for having the courage to send them off into the woods!

I’ve included some photos from their trip!

 

I’ve also included a photo from a first grade morning meeting and a recent kindergarten and 4th grade walking trip to the Vernal Pool. Both morning meetings and cross-grade level relationships are part of the practices our school participates in as part of our commitment to the Responsive Classroom approach to learning.
