Cole Miners' Dig
October 2, 2026
Great to have a sunny Friday! Students continue to learn about growth mindset and goal setting, and also work on their academic and social-emotional fall screeners. We have also welcomed back Spider the reading therapy dog on Tuesday afternoons! I am hoping to rotate all interested students in to read with him this year, so please let me know if you think your child(ren) would enjoy this opportunity. I have also started hosting "lunch bunch," where kids can sign up to eat in my office with up to 3 other kids in their grade. If your child is interested and needs my help to find an open time, please let me know. I can be reached at anne.walsh@norwellschools.org, or by calling the school and entering ext 1111.
Physical Education News
Kindergarteners continue to work on dynamic movements with spatial awareness and self control as the objective. Also practiced tossing and catching underhand using a beanbag with a partner. Grades 1 & 2 were throwing and catching with partners using either a beanbag, foam, funky, fleece or wiffle ball. Grades 3-5 warmed up with a fun throwing, catching and running game called Pickle/Run Down. Overhand throws for distance, underhand tosses when closer, lead passes and defending were all done with partners and larger groups.
