Mexico

Ask your child to tell you about their Tour of Mexico this week.  In a nutshell, the students traveled to each of the 6 fourth grade classrooms to learn about a different aspect of Mexico.  Here are some pictures of the projects the students did in each class.

Mexican Celebrations with Ms. Binette - Dia de los Muertos

Art, Music and Sports with Mr. Brogan

Language and Religion with Mrs. Trombert

Geography with Mrs. McDermott

Mexican History with Mrs. Raider

Products and Resources with Mr. Murray

Book Buddies

Students from our class have partnered up with students in third grade in Mrs. McFadden's class.  Our students will meet weekly to share and read books with one another to help support the work they are doing in our daily reading lessons.

Unity Day

The students enjoyed celebrating Unity Day today.  It was great to see everyone united by the color orange.  Their unity chain is proudly displayed in our cafeteria.  Make sure you take a minute to ask your child about his/her link for the chain.

Sun, Fun and Exercise with the New England Revolution

The students had a blast visiting Gillette Stadium today.  All students were invited onto the field to complete a series of exercises.  We then walked one lap around the entire stadium before returning to our seats.  Once seated, we heard about proper nutrition, exercise and sleep habits that will help us maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Brad Knighton spoke to the students about proper nutrition.

Scott Caldwell spoke to the children about proper exercise routines and the importance of a good night's sleep.

Darkling Beetles

The students are so excited to report that after weeks of observing and waiting, we have finally seen our mealworms transform into darkling beetles.  In the picture below, you will notice two beetles.  The black one is a few days old, and the white one is just about finished with his transformation.

Meet the Newest Additions to our Classroom

We will be studying the structures of goldfish, their behaviors, and their ecosystem for the next few weeks.  Four lucky fish have been added to our classroom.  The students thought of names and voted on their favorite one today.

Bob (orange and white) and Atlantic (gray and orange)

Nugget (all orange) and Smoky (all gray)
