Busy weeks!

We have had a busy couple of weeks here in SBS 2/3! Last week the second grade enjoyed a wonderful field trip to Casey Farm. This was the original home of the eggs that hatched in Science. On Thursday evening the FA community enjoyed a wonderful spring concert performed by the lower division. Bravo all! Finally, on Friday it was such a treat to welcome our grandfriends to school. The kids were so proud to share their routines, hard work, and growth with loved ones. Thanks for sharing them with us!

This week we have all been hard at work researching. Second graders continue to prepare individual projects focused on the rainforest. Next week they will begin work on their learning games for the Rockin' the Rainforest Celebration on June 3rd. Third graders have been reading and researching a famous person of choice for their biography project. It is truly amazing to watch all of the reading and writing skills coming together that we have been working on all year long.

Also this week the Third Graders had a very special visit from Jamie Lard, who is a spokesperson for the Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown, MA. Jamie, who is deaf and blind, came with her interpreter, Caroline. She gave a very inspirational presentation about herself and the work of the Perkins School. Ask your child about it!

Here are some important dates and key information to be aware of as we navigate through these very busy culminating weeks of school.
