Student Learning……….

Grade 3 students visited the Audubon and did imaginative writing and drawing.

They also made nature collages inspired by the author Eric Carle. While outside

they explored nature trails which included sculptures made out of found materials

Students in Miss Gushue’s 3rd grade were using the CUBE strategy in math (Circle,

Box, Underline, and Explain) to write multiplication stories.

Kindergarten students in Mrs. Eagles class had a visit from Lt. Brodney (Lyla's dad) to talk about being a firefighter, life at the fire station, and fire safety. They were able to wish him Happy Veteran's Day!
