Week Ending May 20

 May 10, 2016 School Committee Presentation

                           

Students had lots of fun (as did our School Committee) sharing and participating in all of our learning activities! We shared: our living organisms in Kindergarten, the steps in How to Read a Story, our amazing chorus performed,Grade 2 shared what they love about Science and also taught the School Committee how to play some of our most popular Math Learning Games! Thank you to everyone who stepped forward to participate! Without our students and teachers present, it would not be the same! 

Bandaid Brigade and Sticker Stampede

It is time for our favorite collection of the school year! Once again we are collecting band-aids and stickers for the Tomorrow Fund at Hasbro Children's Hospital. More information will be coming home soon but this collection will run until Friday, June 3. We encourage students to earn the cost of the bandaids or stickers so the fundraiser is more meaningful for the children. Contact Mrs. Larkin for more details and thank you so much for participating! 

Flip Flops

While we are so happy the weather seems to have taken a warm turn, please refrain from sending your children to school in flip-flops or sandals. We do try to get outside EVERY day and the safest toes are the ones that are covered by a supportive shoe or sneaker. Thank you!

Thank you Gems-net Partners! 

Today our whole school was able to participate in a Community Science Walkthrough. This was an opportunity to make the teaching and learning occurring in classrooms visible and to engage in discourse with stakeholders. Small groups spent about 10 minutes in 4 different classrooms and it was amazing to hear all of the compliments from the participants regarding the student to student discussion and the level of student capability and scientific conversations! These shared observations will be used to inform future professional development.

What an honor to have 2 Wawaloam School students recognized for their outstanding art by the RI Alliance for Arts Education. 

The award ceremony was held last night at the URI Feinstein Providence Campus. This  was held in conjunction with PS2016, a statewide art show with a good deal of EWG entries, and also in conjunction with Providence's Gallery Night.
