Pumpkin Patch
Pre-K 3 students colored, painted, and cut paper to create pumpkin collages. They practiced their gluing skills and identified shapes to make their very own Jack-o’-lanterns.
Pangea
Earlier this week, students brought history and geography to life by building their own Pangaea model, helping them visualize how the continents were once joined together as one supercontinent.
Fun with Letters
Pre-K 4-2 Students had a blast practicing letter recognition this week, matching, and fine motor skills. Clothespins were used to match upper and lower case letters with acorn patterns.
In the event that your child will be absent, late, or dismissed early, please contact the school office (401) 767-5906 by 9am so our office staff can inform your child's teacher of their absence or end of day dismissal changes.
As a reminder for all students, cellphone use during school hours is strictly prohibited. If students need to reach out to parents, they must go to the school office during break time to make the call.
Changes of dismissal should not be make through text message during the day as it becomes a challenge during end of day dismissal.
All cellphones and Apple Watches should be kept in your child's backpack (turned off) during the school day to avoid disruption during class time. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
