A Mexican Fiesta is in the air in Mrs. Richard's third grade class. Our student teacher Ms. Cook, from Southampton College, has been helping to do some very rich and rewarding lessons on Mexico. The children have been studying the country Mexico and will be presenting a PowerPoint Show with an oral presentation. Parents and friends are invited to share with us during this exciting time. We will be having varied samples of Mexican food, including Mexican wedding cake created by our students.
Students also have a display of toys, pictures, artifacts, coins and paper money from Mexico.
Much of the students' work will be published on an online school website along with many other pieces of work from this school year. The third, fourth and fifth grade Academic Enrichment students will travel to Mystic, Connecticut, to experience both Mystic Aquarium and Mystic Seaport on Tuesday, May 29th. No trip to Mystic would be complete without a stop at Mystic Seaport. Since the fifth grade students have studied aspects of American history this year, Mystic Seaport provides a wonderful glimpse into the past for them. The four evening Artsfest 2001will include performances of vocal and instrumental music ranging from classical to jazz and blues, displays of painting and sculpture, a traditional karate demonstration, musical for young voices, string ensembles, and technology education exhibits and demonstrations.
