Orlo Avenue School News

Perfect Attendance
Orlo Avenue School had 164 students with perfect attendance for the month of April! Congratulations to those students that were in school every day.

Grade 4 Field Trip
Grade 4 students visited Old Sturbridge Village on May 16. This trip enhances their understanding of early American life and builds on their Colonial Unit in English Language Arts. Thanks to the generosity of Latitia and the late John Carter, through the Carter Spark Grant, for making this trip possible for our students!

Chicks
Kindergarten students were able to observe Chicks hatch in their classrooms! An incubator containing fertilized 18 eggs arrived in each classroom on April 22. Twenty one days later, May 13, the first Chicks were born. Each time an egg began to crack open, the students sat silently awaiting the arrival of the next baby chick. Students created names for each chick including “Chicky Boy”, “Pecky”, and “Belle”. Once the chicks were about a week old, students were able to hold, pet, and play with the chicks. On Friday, May 24, Kindergarten students and the baby chicks took a trip to Casey Farm in North Kingstown where the chicks will live.

Go Fish On May 16, Orlo Avenue Second Graders performed the musical play 5$3“Go Fish” under the direction of music teacher, Raffi Rachdouni. The fun-filled musical shared a message of acceptance and kindness with the school.

Poetry Cafe
Third Grade students enjoyed a Poetry Cafe event this month. Students created poetry books at home after learning about various elements of poetry in class. Parents were invited to attend the cafe where each student shared a poem from their book with their classmates and family members.
