Bus Safety

0 comments
Memorial School had our annual Bus Safety day today where students and teachers are reminded of what proper bus safety and protocol is.

Kindergarten heard from Officer Schipelliti in the cafeteria where he reinforced rules that ensure all students are safe on the bus. Big thanks to the Burlington Police Department for sending him out to make sure that all Burlington students are safe.

A little misty rain didn't stop us from practicing how to evacuate a bus! Mrs. Reekie and I helped students get off the back of the bus in a calm and safe way. Way to go Kindergarten!

Library Switch

0 comments
Hi Families!

We had to make a switch to our schedule today. Instead of going to the library, we were able to meet our Third Grade Book Buddies! We are so excited to partner up with the Third Grade Teachers to make this happen. All students will have an older student buddy who we will be meeting with periodically throughout the year. We had so much fun today!




Because we met with our Buddies, we had to reschedule our library time to Monday. Students have the weekend to enjoy their books but please remember to put them in their backpacks for Monday!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

What's Up Wednesday?

0 comments
Oh my! So much learning and fun has been going on the past week and a half of school.

Last week, we took a break from our math curriculum to play some math games and have some fun. We worked on writing our numbers in shaving cream and played some dice games. It was all fun and games until the fire alarm went off right in the middle of our math block! Ms. McMahon and I were so impressed with how all of our kids were able to listen and follow the teacher directions. We got outside in a quick and quiet manner, despite being covered in shaving cream.




On Friday, we learned about Christopher Columbus and what explorers do. After we went to library, we made some explorer goggles to explore our library books. We learned that explorers look for new places to discover. Here we are exploring our library books that we checked out.



Finally, a choice for filling up our star jar is choosing a show and share item to bring into class and share. We had two exciting show and shares the past week. Isabel brought a baby doll that was given to her by her grandmother and Calianna performed a magic show for us. After sharing, students are allowed to take three questions from their classmates. We loved seeing what Isabel and Calianna had to share!

Apple Picking!

0 comments
We had SO much fun picking apples and pumpkins today at Parlee Farms. We were happy that the rain was able to hold off for us to enjoy our day. All children came home with a bag of apples as well as a pumpkin! We were able to see the vines that the pumpkins grow on, some yellow flowers, and even a couple of green pumpkins that still had to grow up into orange pumpkins! After we got all of our goods, we were able to feed some of the farm animals.

What a great way to wrap up our apple studies!

Library Time!

Memorial School is so lucky to have such an amazing library space for us to use. Every Friday, our class is able to visit Mrs. Myer upstairs to hear a story and check out books for us to take home. They are due back by the next Friday.

Kids really loved listening to a story about apple trees through the seasons last week!

Apple Picking Tomorrow!

Don't forget! We are planning to go apple picking tomorrow as long as the weather cooperates!

Please send your child to school in weather appropriate weather with a bagged lunch.

We will make a decision about going at 8AM and will post to the blog if we are postponing the trip.

Let's hope that the rain can hold off for us!

Recess Fun!

The weather has been beautiful and we have been taking full advantage of it! Some boys at recess organized a race around the "track" of our playground. How creative! Way to go, boys!
