Mrs. McCauley led kindergarten and third grade on a nature walk this afternoon! Mrs. Henderson shared her photos; what a beautiful day!

Ms. McCauley took 3rd and 4th graders out for orienteering in the outdoor classroom this week. Mrs. Henderson and Ms. Phippen shared their photos. Third graders enjoyed their time in the outdoor classroom. They spotted new plant growth, baby ducks, and an eagle, too! Fourth grade found a salamander!

Mrs. G-P shared her photos: On Thursday, our students were treated to a special lunch of fresh local haddock! As a part of this lunch, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students did a taste test comparing tilapia and haddock. They then voted on which they liked better. According to our count, it was divided evenly!

Fifth graders enjoyed reading on a warm sunny day this week; thank you for sharing, Mrs. Snell!
