Kindergarten students could begin their day with circle time where they read a story. Second graders write in journals and use Cuisenaire Rods to investigate area. Third graders learn editing skills that improve their written narratives. Fourth graders write animal stories which will be published into a classroom book. Music students learn about notation, keyboard skills and singing in harmony.
Art classes make a variety of masks, and in Gym children learn the basic skills of floor hockey.
Students end their day by reading a book of their choice. There were 575 students enrolled at the end of the 1999-2000 school year. A Bilingual Education program is offered in Spanish. Our school has met this district goal. The MCAS was designed to measure how well students, schools, and districts are performing on the state's learning standards contained in the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks.
