On Friday, March 1st,  we celebrated…reading!  Barbara Cooney was an author and illustrator.   We chose to have our student body study this author with not only her style of writing but also her style of illustrating.  The book we chose to study is Miss  Rumphius.
Each teacher has activities planned to correlate to the book.  We will post their work around the school for everyone to admire.

The students enjoyed their own "superbowl sundae" sponsored by the PTO on Friday, February 1st .  All classes made predictions on who would win on Sunday, February 3rd: the Baltimore Ravens or San Francisco 49'ers. The students also predicted the final score. And Grade 3 picked the winning team and had the closest score! Good job....

Fire Prevention

The Burn Center at St. Barnabas uses their mobile trailer to recreate a home environment which allows children (primarily third graders) to identify and correct everyday household hazards that may lead to fire and burn injuries. The Fire Safety House also simulates a house fire, utilizing non-toxic smoke, that allows children to practice their home escape plan. We thank Fire Inspectors, Pressler and Warnet, for their assistance.

The School Eight outdoor learning center invites children to "see" science in action as well as being a wonderful place to read and study.
