Spring Vacation is next week, April 15 - April 19, and Ms. Paisner, our Green Meadow Librarian, hos put together an amaxing Spring Break Choice Board to keep everyone reading. Please use the link below to access the board. Happy Reading!

Spring is upon us! And with that comes a much needed break from school for many of our students. Our days at Green Meadow are packed with learning yet “sprinkled” with brain breaks, body breaks and playful social interaction for balance. We recognize the benefits of taking breaks in school. Here are some reasons why downtime is crucial for kids outside of school and how downtime at home and over vacation will help your kids recharge. Turns out there are even some benefits of boredom! Additional SEL resources can be found on the Green Meadow Social Emotional Learning Resources website.

Questions or feedback? Please contact Julie Danforth at jdanforth@maynard.k12.ma.us
