Thank you to our America Reads volunteer, Nancy Lucow, who volunteers to come weekly to read with students in Mrs. Christensen’s class. Nancy has done this for the past four years. Each year the Monadnock chapter of America Reads purchases wonderful hard copy books for students to read and bring home!
Students in Mrs. Topping's first grade class released their Monarch Butterflies that they have been observing during their metamorphosis from caterpillar to cocoon to butterfly. We wish them well on their journey in their natural world!
Students in art and music have met our new teachers, Mr. Shultz (art) and Mrs. Petrick (music), and before long they started creating art work and getting instruments in their hands.
Today, 2nd grade had some very special visitors to their classrooms! In conjunction with one of the reading units on service and therapy dogs, they had a therapy dog and trainer visit! Melissa and Canyon, from ColdSprings Healing Paws, joined the classroom this morning so students could see and learn firsthand what it takes to train a therapy or service dog. Students asked great questions, got to see Canyon do some jobs, and those that wanted to, got to give him many pets. One of the facts that the students were very impressed by is that Canyon had to train for over 10,000 hours to be a therapy dog! Melissa also trains service dogs and the students learned that they live with her, training, for 22 months before they are able to go with the owner who needs them. It is always such a pleasure for me to bring real life experiences to the classroom for the students. The kids were amazing and so engaged the whole time our visitors were here. It was amazing the calm that was over the room while Canyon was here. Thank you to ColdSprings Healing Paws for coming!
Steam Buddies from Miss Ambrosini’s and Ms. Abare’s classes discovered how many candy hearts they could balance on their popsicle sticks. Students were tasked with different ways to balance the hearts to make the task more challenging!
Bobby the Bobcat surprised us with a visit during our virtual all-school meeting. The students were excited to see our old friend. Mr. P. was lucky enough to get a quick photo before he headed off into the wild. We hope to see him again soon!
To build and maintain community despite having 3 distinct pods at PES, every Friday morning Mr. Pimental hosts a virtual all-school meeting where we recognize students, celebrate birthdays, share stories, play games, sing, and share the joke of the day. It is one of the highlights of the week.
