FEATURED CLASSROOM: No. 4
Ms. Jordan and Ms. Riccardelli.
Classroom 4 has been busy this spring! In March, we began
learning about Ireland. We spent a few weeks reading Irish
folklore and listening to traditional Irish music. We talked
about green as the national color of Ireland, and did several
activities involving the color green, including a tasting of some
green foods. After the tasting, we graphed our favorite foods.
We played some... [More]
FEATURED CLASSROOM: No. 8
Mrs. Rosen and Ms. Galella
Classroom 8 has been very busy discovering spring. We've taken
many nature walks around our school, observing the buds and
leaves
on the trees. There were trees with pink blossoms, white
blossoms
and buds of many colors. We also looked around and saw many
types
of flowers growing including daffodils, tulips, pansies, and
various herbs.

Room 10, Mrs. Eaves, Mrs. Flowers
The school year is going by so quickly. It is hard to believe
that soon we
will be having our moving up ceremony. The children in room 10
have become
good friends not only in our classroom but also with children in
other
rooms. We have watched the children go from learning to
recognize their
name, to reading other children's names and on favorit... [More]
FEATURED CLASSROOM: No. 12
Mrs. Muchineuta and Mrs. Carter
Classroom 12 has been busy in 2008! We kicked off the new year and jumped into a topic that the children voted on. Of all the ideas Dinosaurs had the most votes.

One of our favorite dinosaur games was calle... [More]
FEATURED CLASSROOM: No. 13
Ms. Cassale and Ms. Caccavale
Spring has sprung in classroom 13! We are loving the warmer
weather, seeing Mr. Sun, and hearing the sounds of nature. A big
welcome to this new season was in order, so we used our visual-
spatial and fine motor skills to create a life size interactive
poster using Braille ( a language that helps us communicate with
those who can not see ) to say " Welcome Spring!" In class we
have b... [More]
FEATURED CLASSROOM: No. 14
Ms. Waugh and Mrs. Germany-Wald
Where has the time gone? It's hard to believe that our little
ones will be leaving us very soon. We have enjoyed seeing how
much each child has grown. So far, the year has been a great
deal of fun and very productive. A great combination!
We have just completed a unit on land transportation. During
this unit the children visited our neighboring parking garage,
observed and then t... [More]
FEATURED CLASSROOM: No. 16
Mrs. Dickinson and Mrs. Alonso
After saying goodbye to Mrs. Dickinson and welcoming Mrs.
Ashe into the "fold", the children in classroom 16 settled right
in smoothly and began to explore the beautiful world of "Under
the Sea." We have created a colorful ocean mural where the
children have added their unique version of their favorite sea
creatures. On Fridays we have been making our own "under the
sea" snacks. So ... [More]
