School Wide Meeting: Full Moon Poetry and Barn Dances!

Here's a peek at one of our weekly School Wide Meetings.

On Tuesday, the 14th of October, Heather read us some poetry for the full moon, and then Courtney called some traditional New Hampshire barn dances.

The older students enjoyed teaching the kindergarteners how to dance these old New England steps.

Our Community, in Doll Form

To start our year, each student created a version of his or her self in paper doll form. You can see the complete display on our front lobby bulletin board; can you match up each doll with its student?

Preschool Parent Teacher Forum

The Preschool Parent Teacher Forum has been postponed and will be rescheduled for a later date. We will keep you informed of the new date.
