I hope you enjoyed the long weekend. If only all of the days in October could be like this past Saturday! The leaves always seem so much more vibrant with the sun out. I am going to try to start sending out my blog on a weekly basis rather than on a monthly basis when my schedule (and my memory) permits. Don’t worry – they will be short and sweet and give you the latest happenings in the school as well as inform you about upcoming events.
A big thank you goes out to the Camillus Fire Department for providing each of our 1st grade classrooms with such a great presentation on fire safety and fire prevention. The firefighters spent about an hour in each classroom explaining what they do and what students should do in an actual emergency. In the picture to the left you can see one of the firefighters showing students in Mrs. Reina’s first grade class how they stay low to the ground when looking for people or animals in a burning building. The students were all able to go outside to see the fire truck close up, as well as all of the tools that are housed inside it. The presentation was very informative.
Each year our 1st and 5th grade classrooms team up for our Peer Partners Program. In the picture below you can see students from Mr. Meaney’s 5th grade classroom reading to students in Mrs. Bergan’s first grade classroom. The students from both classrooms love opportunities such as these to get together.
Our math words for this week are round (T), addition (W), plus (Th), and subtraction (F). Students are enjoying hearing and learning about the word of the day. They are eager to tell me what it is when I enter their classroom. I hope we are able to keep the momentum going!
Enjoy the
rest of your week!
