PICTURES



INVESTIGATORS - MUIR

After finishing their breakfasts, these students sat quietly at their desks at 8:00am either drawing or building with small lego sets. This was the first day this group had met as a full classroom of both blue and green group members. The combined classroom group seemed to be operating happily and smoothly when these pictures were taken.  Link to 12 Pictures.




EXPLORERS - DEDIOS
Ms. Dedios' combined group of blue and green group students had just returned from being outdoors for recess time when these lunchtime photographs were taken on 10-29-2020. They were seated and eating their lunches silently while briefly unmasked. Talking is avoided during meals.  A short video on spiders, and the science of how their webs are created, played at the front of the classroom to entertain them while they dined.  Link to 15 Pictures



EXPLORERS - FENTON

The combined blue and green groups in Ms. Fenton’s classroom began the day with movement (cha cha slide dance) and then stretching and mindfulness activities. These tasks prepared them to focus on the literacy work that followed. Link to 12 Pictures.




TRAVELERS 3RD-GRADE - PAC

These third-grade Travelers decided to be responsible citizens and pick up trash while going around the walking path. Prior to their cleanup work, there was a noticeable amount of plastic bags, Dunkin Donuts cups, and other items. They ask everyone to please help keep our community clean and use the trash and recycling bins that are outside.

Nov 12th. Digital Safety Tips and Tricks:

Increased access to technology and the internet provides amazing opportunities for students to learn and connect, and it also requires the school and families to work together to keep students safe.  In this practical session led by teachers (who are also parents!), we will share some great digital safety resources and strategies.
