Charlotte's Web Field Trip

South America

We have taken a virtual trip to our first continent- South America. We have been studying the area's countries, landforms, cultures, and animals. Each student has created a poster displaying the facts they have learned along with a detailed map. The posters are amazing! Students will earn their first passport stamp this week, then we are off to Antarctica!

Great Snake!

 Ms. Pavlicek came to help us end our reptile/amphibian unit with a BANG! Here are some FW teachers with the Boa Constrictor. 

Dr. Seuss Day

On Friday March 1, 2013 many schools across the country participated in Read Across America Day.  This is a day to celebrate Dr. Seuss and his love for reading.  Here in room 212, we had many different activities going on.  Our class learned a lot about the life of Dr. Seuss.  We were lucky to have two special guest readers.  Kristen Russo from the Burlington School Committee came to our class to read.  Mr. Boucher from the Burlington Fire Department also came in to read Wacky Wednesday.
The second grade students were also given a task to find the 50 words used to write Green Eggs and Ham.  The best thing was to see everyone enjoying books throughout the day!  It was so much fun.  Here are a few photos from our day.

Coming Soon...

I am working on a slide show of our reptile/ amphibian projects! Hopefully I will post it soon.  I will send an email to remind you to come back and check.

Valentine's Day

We had a wonderful week before vacation. We celebrated the 100th day of school, shared reptile/ amphibian projects, celebrated Valentine's Day, and had a wonderful story-teller. A big thanks to all you parents for help with the valentine cards and projects. Also a great big thank you to the PTO for a wonderful assembly. It was a great way to start the vacation week. Here are some pictures from our Valentine's celebration. These kids have some good moves!

Bears Invade Francis Wyman!

We got to visit the beary cool bear exhibit brought to our school by the Burlington Science Center. The students had a great time learning all kinds of bear facts. Check out these pictures and ask your child to tell you a beary cool bear fact!
