Principal Madden’s Weekly Update – June 4, 2018

Principal Madden’s Weekly Update – June 4, 2018

Photos

This week’s photos show some of students engaged in studying creatures from the Vernal Pool, which is located not far from school. Mr. Ted, our naturalist partner from the Hitchcock Center, helps us open our eyes to all that is living around us. We are grateful for his enlightenment as we study science and nature. We will have a celebration highlighting some of this work on Friday, June 15 from 2:00-2:45 in classrooms (except for grade 5, who will be the Connecticut Science Center). Please join us if you can!

Other photos show some fun with kindergarten and 4th grade learning buddies in our courtyard. Our courtyard has been bustling with new life this spring, as we have 4 active bird nests and many baby birds. Very exciting.

The other photo highlights some kindergarteners with their 4th grade learning buddy.
