School Is So Fun


We celebrated our accomplishment of filling the popcorn jar with a basketball party in the gym!  Mr. Kip met us with equipment ready and then impressed us with his tricky ball spinning!











We utilized various size balls and shot on hoops at different heights!







Our ball handling skills were impressive as we dribbled around the court!


We also had an opportunity to color some basketball images!















Fun with blankets, quilts and afghans continues as we share and measure!

Quilt Schedule

To begin the month of January, we will immerse the children in the multidisciplinary study BLANKETS AND QUILTS.  We will look at blankets, quilts and afghans.  During the long, cold winter months these items are a necessity in New England.  We assigned a date to each student to bring in and share their special quilt, blanket or afghan.  Please see calendar below with your child’s date to share their special item.

Blankets, Quilts and Afghans



We introduced a new unit on snugly blankets!  Mrs. Hoyt read a book, The Quiltmaker's Gift and then shared a quilt of her daughter Cat.  Then we measured the length and width with some of our math tools.




We measure the length and width of the items we share and then we measure the area!  Since we are using non-standard units to measure we had fun and used our bodies.  Mrs. Hoyt had students measure with kindergartners and teachers standing up and Mrs. Kerr had students measure with students sitting up.
