Mrs. Betty Williams?, Mrs. Sandra Burge?s, Mrs. Susan Bilbo?s, and Ms. Lisa Burge?s classes had a visitor on Monday as part of our unit study on frogs and toads.  Mrs. Emily Carlisle, a teacher at Pearl River Community College, brought some very special frogs and toads to share.  Mrs. Carlisle has a daughter, Rachel, in Mrs. Williams? class.  Students learned how to recognize the differences between frogs and toads, their habitats, and what amphibians and reptiles are.  Students also had the opportunity to look at a frog underneath a microscope.  

Ms. Angie?s class hosted ?Muffins for Moms and Friends? on September 14. It was a huge success. Visitors were able to observe Saxon Phonics, Reader?s Workshop, Spanish, Math and Library. Guests were also able to eat lunch with the students. The class wants to say thank you to the visitors for coming and allowing them to ?show off? their skills.

Mrs. Trish?s kindergartners were all smiles as they showed their patriotism with Uncle Sam Hats and their very own American Flag. Mrs. Trish?s Yankee Doodle Dandies talked about the flag having 50 stars and 13 stripes.  In an effort to instill pride in our country and the importance of patriotism, they learned about the symbols of the United States such as the White House, Bald Eagle, Liberty Bell, and the Statue of Liberty.
