Burnham Memorial Library Fun!

Today we walked to The Burnham Memorial Library for reading workshop.  The students learned the history of the library, listened to a read aloud, and selected 1 book to take home and read.  It was a great way to celebrate reading!

Healthy Taste Test = Success!

THANK YOU PARENTS for signing up and sending in all the food items for our Nutrition/Healthy Taste Test today!  It was so awesome to hear what kids realized they DO like.  Keep exposing your child to healthy food items.  :)

Folktales

In reading workshop we have been studying different types of folk tales.  We have learned about Fairy Tales, Fables, and Tall Tales.  At this point your child should know the difference between the three.  We also compared and contrasted different versions of the same Fairy Tale.  In our bulletin board you can see our Venn diagram of The Three Little Pigs and The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.

Book Orders

Book Orders are due this week!  See the link below to order online or send in the form. ~ Thank you!

Fire Safety/Water Shed Model

The Colchester Volunteer Firefighters came in last week to discuss fire safety with our class.  The students enjoyed it and were exposed to what a firefighter would look like and sound like in the event they entered a building that was on fire.

Stop, drop, cover and roll!
