Family Fun!

Next Saturday is "Take Your Child to the Library," day. It is, "An international initiative that encourages families everywhere to take their children to their local library," (Connecticut Library Consortium). I hope that you are able to get to the library with your family!  Click here for more information about this fun day.

Poetry Workshop

We are writing free verse poems in the style of Robert Frost and will be using paper snowflakes as a muse for our verse.  Here is a link to the online snowflakes that we experimented with in class today.

Fourth Grade News

Fourth Graders worked together to create small "forests" while learning how to adapt the yoga tree pose to partner yoga! The weather hit 2 extremes this week- very, very cold on Monday, and unseasonably warm on Wednesday.  We enjoyed our outdoor recess on Wednesday.

Our chorus concert was a huge success!  Videos of two of our songs can be found at the links below:

Here is a video of a family hiking the Beehive Trail in Acadia National Park. Mrs. A.Williams and her family hiked it and it was scary!  Do you think that you and your family would like to hike The Beehive?  Leave a comment and let us know.
