Lines From the Library

Actors from the Library Acting Club performed their play, The Bremen Town Musicians, for the 1st grade students this week. Made up of 2nd grade students from Ms. Michaud's class, the actors worked hard to learn their lines and sacrificed many recesses to rehearse. Director, Ms. Hardman, hopes these actors will continue with their theater adventures as they definitely have a knack for it!

STEM City

On Thursday, April 6th, RSU 1 will be holding STEM City at Morse High School/Bath Tech, from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. Are you feeling festive? Come dressed as your favorite scientist, molecule, or math equation. Every student walking in the door can win a STEM prize for their class. This event is free for all and is designed primarily for PreK-8th grade, though the activities are also suitable for high school students.

STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math. Teaching STEM at the elementary level helps students develop basic skills that apply to many parts of life. It provides opportunities for students to practice critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration, as well as other skills.

Dike-Newell will be represented at the STEM Night, please be sure to attend to see what students have been doing. Next week in library classes students will find out how they can win some cool STEM related prizes.
