March DID come in like a lion and it doesn’t seem to be going out like a lamb just yet. It’s weather in New England and we just love it!
We started our week with an all school performance from the Ammaya Dance & Drum Group. We were able to have this wonderful performance as a result of a Town of Franklin Cultural Council grant; it was awesome!
English Language Arts (ELA) MCAS will be next Wednesday and Thursday. The work that we do all year prepares us for the MCAS but we have spent some time looking at old tests so that the students will be familiar with the format and the different types of questions that may be asked. We are also continuing to read The Elephant in the Room which the students love. If you haven’t read it you should give it a try; so many good lessons to learn from this book!
The final speech of the year was a success! It has been so rewarding to see each student grow in the area of public speaking. This is such a challenging skill and the students have done very well with it. We are proud of their progress!
We have started to learn about geometry with a focus on lines, segments and rays this week. We will continue to learn more about angles in the upcoming week.
The children are enjoying learning about our great nation by learning all about the southeast. Be careful, there may be a road trip in your future!
Have a great weekend, watch out for the tricks and pranks tomorrow!
