Snapshot on Learning

A Continent Comes Alive - Students in second grade learned many new skills and facts as they researched Antarctica and penguins. To culminate their learning, each child wrote a formal research report and created a habitat “tri-o-rama”. Pictured here, the students present their work and celebrate with their families; left to right: James Mello, Cody Alves, Katelyn Foley and Samantha Medeiros.

Is that Neil Armstong? - Students in Mrs. DiPalma’s grade two classroom recently hosted their own “Wax Museum”. If you pressed the ‘paper button’ the frozen figure from history magically came to life to tell you about themselves. Pictured here is Hayden Silva telling of his adventures as Neil Armstrong.

Bridging Learning - Second grade students challenged their engineering skills with representatives from the Boston Museum of Science at a recent traveling workshop entitled, “Engineering Bridges”. Students were greatly inspired and continued building bridges through the week using different materials in the classroom (legos, K'nex, cubes, rods, Lincoln Logs, dominoes, straws, etc.) Pictured here are Noah Eddy, Sophie Salisbury, Reid Mello, and Aundraya Pinho.

What’s Your Story? - Reflections Art Contest awards were presented to students who showed excellence or creativity in expressing their interpretation of the theme: “What’s Your Story?” The winning student art, comprised of visual art, literature, photography and dance, has been moved forward to the PTA state level competition. Good luck students!

Make and Take Night - Palmer River parents became our “students” at the recent “Make and Take Literacy Night”. Parents created and took home many new learning activities to help their children practice reading and writing skills. Here Mrs. Tehan and Mrs. Bergeron create letter tiles from Lima Beans. A big “thank you” to Mr. Eddy of Hannaford’s Supermarket for the generous donations!
