World Kindness Day - November 13, 2024
Our student council decorated the bulletin board beside the office along the upstairs sensory path. This is an interactive bulletin board. Each grade level and class has its colored note, and students can write acts of kindness or kind words/compliments about others.
Third graders successfully traveled to Plimoth, where they immersed themselves during the time of the Wampanoag and English settlers. Real-world learning is the best kind of learning! #whywefieldtrip #belonging

Students spent time in technology this week exploring this beautiful fall weather on a leaf hunt. After collecting several, they sorted and discussed what they observed about them.
We love when Discovery Museum comes to visit our students - hands on learning is the best way to understand and learn about science! Third graders learned about magnetic forces and created their own toy with magnets that can push, pull, attract, gravitate, have friction and/or repel.
