Kindergarten’s Annual Holiday Ice cream party!
Pre-K enjoyed going on a hunt for their letters today! We visited Mrs. Thorton, Ms. Clark, Mrs. Trimm and Mrs. Lindemann! "Gingy" our gingerbread friend gave us clues that led us to finding our letters! After working as a team, we sorted our alphabet and unlocked our surprise: gingerbread cookies! It was a fun morning filled with lots of giggles!
4th grade has been working on electrical circuits in science. We learned about what is a circuit, what is a good conductor and how batteries work. Today we used that knowledge to create paper helicopters with lights using copper tape, LED light bulbs, a battery and the helicopter template. Once we got them working, we dropped them off the catwalk.

Mrs. Estes’ class had our Annual Trip on the Polar Express! Students enjoyed watching the movie comfortably in their pjs. We also had a yummy snack of s’mores and milk. When the movie was over they received a special early present from the North Pole!
A big thank you to the folks at home to help make this a special day for the kiddos!
We are so proud of our students on the first trimester honor roll! Great work Wildcats!

Second grade did a Mayflower STEM activity last week! Students were asked to build boats out of tinfoil, styrofoam cups and masking tape that could carry pilgrims (pennies) to the new world. We had a new second grade record today with a boat holding 267 Pennie’s! Great work second grade!
A message from Mrs. Curtis: After logging 500 minutes of reading over the summer, Dominic turned in his Reading Passport in September. Out of many participants in our school, two student names were drawn from a hat to be entered into a statewide drawing for a new bike and helmet. We are so happy to share with you that one of our own students was the recipient of this wonderful prize. Congratulations, Dominic! I know you will get lots of riding time on your new bike! Thank you to the Freemasons of Maine and the Maine Department of Education for sponsoring such a worthwhile challenge.
Last week we celebrated our November Students of the Month! Great work Wildcats!
