We Are Writers!








This year, we launched a new writing program and we are so proud of ALL OF OUR writers! Many of our grade 1 classes and kindergarten classes have paired up to celebrate all of their hard work.

Today, Mrs. Titus' class celebrated the end of the unit with Mrs. Fasula's class, check out these sweet moments of kindergarteners telling grade one all about their writing!

6 Ways to Teach Children About Veteran's Day
Care.com Resources, Rachel Murphy

1. Attend a Veterans Day parade: Oftentimes, communities host a parade to celebrate and honor members of the military. Check your local city or town’s event guide to see if there’s one scheduled where you live.
2. Read a book: Books on a variety of topics related to Veterans Day, military families and soldiers are available for all ages. Visit the local public library or a nearby bookstore with your child and pick out a few books that they find interesting.
3. Raise money: Find veteran organizations near you, start a neighborhood lemonade stand or other fundraiser and donate the money to a local veterans group. This is a great way to help your child take action to support our veterans.
4. Talk about freedom: What freedoms do you enjoy? Discuss these with your child to help make them aware of the everyday liberties they have thanks to veterans.
5. Talk about sacrifice: Members of our military often go long periods of time away from loved ones and sometimes even miss important holidays and birthdays with their families to fight for our freedom.
6. Say 'thank you': If you and your child are out in public and see a man or woman in uniform, let your child know that it’s a nice gesture to say 'thank you.' Those two simple words can mean a lot to a service member. If you're at a coffee shop or a restaurant and feeling generous, you might also consider paying for their cup of coffee or meal.

End of the Week News from Wawaloam



We had such a great week practicing all kinds of ways to make sure we are noticing friends who might be alone. When we do notice this, we say Hello! We hope the message made its way home. From videos to songs to students creating books about Kindness, we took the message to heart. 


Check out all of the amazing activities we are doing in STEAM! 
Thanks Mrs. McKeen for sharing such great pictures!
