            Here is some beginning of the year information to keep in mind.
  • Arrival time in the cafeteria each morning is by 7:50 a.m.
  • Gym uniform with sneakers is worn to school on days when we have PE. (This year we are having a 6-day schedule and our PE days will be Day 5 and Day 6.)
  • Each will need to bring a morning snack each day. Lunch must be ordered the night before on the website
  • All workbooks will need to be covered in clear contact paper for durability.
  • Since we will be using iPads in the classroom, each child is encouraged to bring his/her own earbuds in a plastic bag clearly marked with his/her name.

  • The students can earn pennies for nighttime reading and for good behavior, so each child will need a small pouch or plastic container in which to keep his/her pennies

Science: Simple Machines In science class the students have been learning about the six types of simple machines: screw, lever, inclined plane, wedge, wheel and axle, and pulley. After learning about inclined planes, the students were given the challenge to create an inclined plane so that a car at the top of a box could travel down the ramp and continue rolling.                               First the students discussed what classroom materials to use to create the inclined plane. Next, they got to work making their ramps and made sure that the car successfully traveled down the ramp. Finally, the students demonstrated how well the inclined planes worked and we measured how far each car traveled. ___________________________________________________________________________ St. Nicholas Day On December 6th, there was much excitement as students left their shoes in t...

Healthy Living: Touching Safety Rules The Second Graders were all ears as Ms. Jester taught about the touching safety rules. The boys chanted, 'Say no, get away! Tell someone, tell someone!" Students named people in their families, school, and community who are trusted adults and could lend a helping hand. CommunityTime This week the Second Graders showed their creativity when decorating snack bags. The Early Childhood students will fill the bags, and they will be distributed to the needy. Continental Math League Round 2 on the CML was completed this week. Students did their best to solve six very challenging word problems. The photos show their intense concentration.
