Happy 100th Day!!!

We had a great 100th day--100 days of school, 100 days SMARTER!!!

Many of us had collection of 100 to share (and wear):

Then we moved on to our 8 100 day stations--everyone had a ticket and got to choose their path through the stations. I felt like a conductor, running around punching cards and keeping the orchestra of learning going smoothly.

Thank you to parents and families for your support for the first 100 days (and donations of marshmallows, toothpicks and kisses to make the day possible)! The next 80 (78) days are bound to be just as amazing!

Career Day 2016

Today we saw some great professionals at school, who taught us a lot about what it takes to do their job. What a fun day of learning!

Thank you for all of your support at home that made career day a success at school!!

Reading with the Monarchs

We had a great treat at school this afternoon--a visit from a few members of the Manchester Monarch's!

Josh Brown (#3) and Darik Angeli (#10) came to visit a few first grade classroom and read the book “The Bulliest Dozer” as part of the Monarchs Against Bullying program. 

After the book, we learned that the Monarch's practice for an hour and a half a day, and went to school beyond high school (one player was from Canada--they have a different system of schooling!) and had to keep learning before becoming professional hockey players.

What a great treat to learn about their job and to talk about why we shouldn't be bullies.
