Garden Planting

Every child in our school had the opportunity to plant a flower in the Kaitlyn Hassard Memorial Garden.

Thank you to Mrs. Blangiforti, Mrs. Byrnes, Mrs. O'Keefe and Mrs. Spinosa for their continued help with the garden.

First Grade Field Day

Here are some photos of our first grade field day. Although it was cool outside, at least it wasn't raining this afternoon. The boys and girls had a great time.

Second Grade Field Day/Celebration

Today was field day! The second graders enjoyed all the activities!  After the outside fun, they had lunch catered by Applebees, compliments of the SMPTA. Then they enjoyed a dance party in the gym to celebrate the end of their SSS experience. Thank you to Mrs. Chanenchuk and Ms. Chomicki, our PE teachers. Thank you to the DAS Fitness leaders. And thank you to the SMPTA for lunch, a special gift, and the DJ.

In2Books

SSS second graders and ESM high school students in Mrs. McCoy's class have been pen pals this year. Pairs of students read the same storybooks and then wrote letters about the books. The pen pals met each other at SSS in October and today the second graders visited the high school for an end-of-year literary celebration. All the students are really In2Books!

Brownie Troop 2958

Thank you so much to the girls in Brownie Troop 2958 for planting flowers around our flag pole in preparation for our Flag Day celebration on June 13. It looks beautiful!

Creating Terrariums

Mrs. Jordan's first grade class made terrariums to demonstrate the water cycle.

Weeding in the Garden

Second grade students in Mrs. Castoro's class and Mrs. O'Connor's class weeded a few of our memorial gardens this afternoon as part of their service learning project. Thank you for all your hard work in maintaining these special gardens around our school.

QR Codes for Science

Students in Mr. Edwards/Ms. Schoelermann's first grade class were excited to use their iPads in the Science Lab today. They scanned QR (Quick Response) codes and answered questions about living/non-living things.

Cinco de Mayo

Today, Mrs. Legaz's kindergarten class celebrated Cinco de Mayo. The children made paper tacos and listened to a mariachi band.

 Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

The LEGO Link to Literature

Last night, we held a parent-child workshop that linked LEGOs to literature. We called it Read! Build! Write!  Children listened to stories, built with LEGO bricks, and wrote about their creations. It was a wonderful, imaginative evening!

iPad Research

Second grade students in Mrs. Athanasopoulos/Mrs. Curtin's class used non-fiction books and their new iPads today to research similarites and differences between chicks and ducklings. They worked in cooperative groups and recorded their information on Venn diagrams.
