Character Word of the Week Winners and Kickball

As many of you know we had our MassPass Fundraiser and overall it was very successful. Thank you to everyone who helped make this fundraiser a success.  Classes which had 100% of their books either returned or sold were entered into a drawing to win a kickball contest with Mr. Gobeil and Myself.

The drawing was held today and congratulations goes to Mrs. Kaufman's 5th grade class and Mrs. Burke's 2nd grade class.  Both classes will have the chance to go outside and participate in a class kickball game. 

4th Grade Buddies

Last week I had the pleasure of joining Mrs. Sullivan's 4th grade class and Mrs. Trottier's 1st grade class during one of their visits together.  Mrs. Sullivan and Mrs. Trottier have organized 4th grade buddies for incoming 1st graders.  This gives 4th grade students the opportunity to mentor 1st grade students.  It was really great seeing the connections the kids have formed since the start of the year.  Below is a picture of students going over a book together as a class and they were learning about similes....it was a great lesson!

The character word of the week for last week was Gratitude.  And the winners are.........

Great job everyone.  The Character Word for this week is Humility.
