Pre-K Students are Flying

Students in Pre-K are flying high during their Transportation theme! Their loft has been transformed into a jet after many hours of painting and gluing.

"Are you our mother?" asked the bats.

First and second grade students performed their re-worked nocturnal animal version of Are You My Mother? to an enormous crowd of families and students at Gathering.

Food Drive is a Success!

The third/fourth grade class and the kindergarten class teamed up once again to organize a food collection for the emergency food cupboard in Lansdowne.  Kindergarten students made use of the cans they collected for some interesting math activities before making the delivery.  They used the USDA food pyramid to categorize each of the cans into separate food groups and then graphed them on a giant cloth grid. 

The two classes then bundled up and delivered the food to the food cupboard. 

Exploring Adjectives

Tr. Jill's 1/2 graders have been exploring the parts of speech.  This week they learned about adjectives.

On Monday the class defined adjectives: a word that describes a noun.  Together the students listed a few nouns and several adjectives that could describe those nouns.  

On Tuesday each student chose two objects in the classroom to describe.  They jotted a few adjectives that described each object on a post-it note and then stuck the note to the object.         

Hedgehog and more in Kindergarten

Kindergarten students have been focused on peace and friendship for the past few weeks and today they presented one of their favorite books realted to this theme to the rest of the school at Friday morning Gathering.  Students created headdresses, costumes, and scenery.  They rehearsed their roles as various animal characters and narrators and acted out the book, Help! A Story of Friendship, by Holly Keller to the delight of the school and their parents.

Three Cups of Tea ~ An all-school book group

The school community gathered last night for a potluck supper followed by a discussion of Three Cups of Tea, our all-school book group selection this year.  Third and fourth grade students and Tr. Alison had read and discussed the book earlier this year and were eager to share their responses and questions with parents, teachers, Meeting members, and students .

Happy Birthday, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The school community gathered this morning to think about the life and contributions of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and to wish him a happy birthday.  Each student created a page for a birthday book in honor of Dr. King which will be published, we sang several freedom songs, and then enjoyed a birthday cake.
