We hope everyone enjoys a wonderful break and we look forward to welcoming everyone back on January 2nd. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

This survey closes on January 4th.

Students in Kindergarten had a walking field trip this week over to Dighton Council on Aging and sang Christmas Carols. Fun was had by all and better, the weather was beautiful.

This week, grade 4 worked on a blended learning Gingerbread House activity! The kiddos used their growing tech skills to create a digital gingerbread house. After making their digital blueprint, they had to engineer a 3D model of their house out of a brown paper bag, construction paper and other odds and ends in the classroom. Extensions from this activity included:

1) A Gingerbread Geometry activity where the kiddos had to identify the shapes, angels and elements of symmetry included in their design

2) A persuasive writing activity where the kids took the role of a real estate agent trying to sell the home.

It was a blast!

Mrs. Fernandes students performed "A Christmas Idol" for their families. The play was a huge success and the students put on an amazing performance. Thank you to Mrs. Fernandes, Mrs. C, Mrs. Otis, and Mrs. Donahue-Taylor for helping to coordinate this.

Students in rm 14 purchased items from the Hot Cocoa Cafe. Students visited the cafe to purchase toppings for the hot cocoa being served at their playdate in park on Thursday night.

Today Dighton PD and Dighton FD came for our last high five Friday of 2024. We also had some specials guest show up: Elf on the Shelf, Buddy the Elf, and the Grinch.
