Snapshot on Learning

JUST CRAZY! Ms. Ormerod poses with Palmer River student Nicholas Mourao for “Crazy Hair Day”. As a celebration for our PBIS, Positive Behavior Intervention and Support, Students participated in a SPIRIT week. In addition to Crazy hair, students were “Dressed to Impress”, Feinstein Jr, Scholars, and dressed in “Mix and Match” Day. Student participation generated a total of $525.00 for the Rehoboth Food Pantry.

IN MEMORIAL  Fourth grade students, Sarah Rodrigues, Allison Tito and Ava Wasylow (left to right) join together to celebrate our veterans.  The ladies shared the meaning behind Memorial Day and how the song “TAPS” is used to honor those who serve in the military.  The girls did our Pledge of Allegiance, shared a reading, and played TAPS on their recorders for all to enjoy.  BRAVO

IT’S SCIENCE – Chemist (and Mom) Kathy Cooper joined our second graders to talk about her training as a chemist.  The excitement peaked as she introduced the children to the properties of Dry Ice.  Did you know that Dry Ice could make a teapot whistle?  Who knew that Carbon dioxide could be so much fun! Judith Kearney of “HighTouch-HighTech” introduces two of our second grade students Korimah Woodard and Lucas Estrella to Friction in her hands-on ‘Friction Gives Me Traction’ lesson.

SOME VERY COLORFUL READING! -  Students in Mrs. Augusta and Miss DiPietro’s first grade class invited their families to a “Crayola Crayon” Read In.  Families sat with their “favorite color” and enjoyed a colorful story.  The students had a great time practicing their reading with inflection, identifying the main idea, and telling key details as they read. 

We are one box of crayons- each of us unique, but when we get together- the picture is complete!

Palmer River Art Enjoyed By Many - Fourth grade enrichment students, Laura D., Ava W., Olivia P., Lexie G. Idalia B. and Rowan W. (left to right) have been asked to hang their own original paintings at the Courthouse in Taunton.  The ladies were honored in an official hanging ceremony held at the courthouse.  The paintings will be permanently on display.  Now we can all look forward to our ‘jury duty’ as an opportunity to view some wonderful art. Mrs. Beaulieu (our art teacher) and the entire staff are very proud!
