What's Coming Up?

Hi everyone! With only 24 more school days to go, our days at LES are getting busy!  This post will let you know a little about some of the important events and activities coming up in our classroom.

1.  ABC Countdown

Our countdown started on Thursday - one letter each day and a fun activity to go with that letter.  Thursday was Art Day and we did some "sculpting" with playdough and drawing and creating at the end of the day.  Friday was "Beach Blankets" and we did most of our work sitting on the floor on our blankets.

With days like Camping Day, Electronics Day, Watermelon Day and King and Queen Day on the schedule, we can look forward to a fun end of the year!  Here's our ABC Countdown calendar.  You can click (HERE) to download.








2. Mayfest
  On Wed. May 20, students in grades 1-4 will be traveling to the high school for their annual Mayfest.  We will tour the gym and look at a variety of different pieces of artwork created by our own high school students.  There will be sculptures, drawings, paintings and more. Be sure to ask your child which piece was his or her favorite!

3. Field Trip

The day after Memorial Day (Tues. May 27), second graders in Ms. Gamache's and Mrs. Orga's classes will visit the Children's Science Museum in West Hartford. With a new exhibit on puzzles, an animal room, interactive activities, a classroom program on plants - and of course Cone the Whale! - the day will be filled with fun and learning.  You can click (HERE) to visit the Science Center's site and learn more.
