Preschool and 6th grade Olympics/Carnival

Grade 6 students from Ms. Clemenzi’s class initiated and carried out some exciting, interactive activities with the preschoolers in Mrs. Norris’ class.  A treasure hunt, Olympics, and carnival were the themes of these impressive activities that were the highlight of the students’ day.  Sixth grade students demonstrated maturity and leadership and the preschoolers thoroughly enjoyed the older students and the games they created

4th grade Biography Stamp Project

Combining our opinion writing unit and study of informational text: autobiographies and biographies, 4th grade students participated in the Biography Stamp Project. Each student researched a person of their choice using books and technology with a focus on learning about their individuals' accomplishments, challenges, and inspiring personality traits. They then wrote 5 paragraph essays/letters to The Stamp Advisory Committee of the U.S. Postal Service recommending that their person be featured on a postage stamp. They also designed stamps to represent their subject. All of their hard work was displayed at a Living Museum for the third graders, where students dressed as their person of choice and gave short oral presentations. 

2014 Kid 2 Kid Program

6^th Graders wrote and performed skits related to bullying for students in kindergarten through 2^nd grade at the Fuller Meadow School.  The skits demonstrated what a bullying situation might look like at school and then how this same scenario could have been handled in a better way.  Thank you to the sixth grade Kid2Kid group and to Mrs. Swanson and Mrs. McCarthy for leading the group.  Students will perform for the third through fifth graders at Howe Manning on Thursday, May 1^st.
