December 2010

December was a month full of activities, festivities, and excitement.  The Kindergarten was busy with the Nutcracker- both attending and performing.  Happy Holidays!  Have a safe and joyful week to enjoy your family and all of your favorite winter traditions.  It is looking to become a winter wonderland here in Burlington!

November 2010

Happy Birthday to M-E and Dao this month.

We have all had fun at our field trips so far this year.  Take a look at some of the photos.
Kindergarten trip to Parlee:

Navigating the Hay Maze
Finding fresh apples

Picking the perfect pumpkin

Feeding the Animals
Kindergarten trip to the Franklin Park Zoo:




Grade 1 to Davis Farmland:





Grade 2 to Discovery Museum




We were also lucky enough to have soldiers come visit our room to thank us for donating Halloween candy.  We made sure that we thanked THEM for protecting us and serving our country.  It was a great way to recognize Veteran's Day.


Reminders:
Report Cards will be going home in backpacks on Wednesday, November 17, 2010.  Please take some time to look it over and we will discuss more specific perfomance and questions during conferences.  There is no school on Friday so we may meet with families.  Many of you have conferences schedule.  We look forward to seeing you and discussing progress.

October

This week in school our first graders had a visit from Al Fay and his antique fire truck.  Mr. Fay talked to the children about fire prevention and fire safety.

We also have some exciting field trips coming up this month. 
October 14th- Grade 1 is going to Davis Farmland
October 27th- Grade 2 is going to The Discovery Museum
October 28th- Kindergarten is going to The Franklin Park Zoo  

If you are looking for something to do this weekend, AMC Theaters has a sensory friendly showing of The Zookeeper in Tyngsboro and Framingham.  The theater will have the lights up, the volume down, and kids are free to move their bodies without being shushed.

Reminder:  Picture day is coming up on Wednesday, Oct. 13th for Kindergarten through Grade 2.
