BUSY WEEK AHEAD!

We have a very busy week ahead in school! On Tuesday, May 16th we will be visited by school committee member Nona Ojala. Nona Ojala has a lot of information to share about the history of Leominster. She will be sharing old photographs of the city and also bringing in artifacts to show the second graders.

On Friday we are going to Southwick Zoo. The weather forecast looks great, and sunscreen is highly recommended! Please make sure that your child wears sunscreen before coming to school, and also brings a bagged lunch and drink. The buses will be leaving after attendance so please make sure that your child comes to school on time. THANK YOU!!!!!!! We will return before bus time in the afternoon! Thank you for all of the returned permission slips, money, and donated money for the trip!!!!

In Science we have just finished our "All About" books focusing on different animals. They will be on display during our Poetry Open Mic on June 2nd. The students worked very hard on the books, and have included a Table of Contents, Glossary, and other important non-fiction features.

This week we are wrapping up our poetry unit. Students have been working for WEEKS on different types of poems including a cinquain, biopoem, color poetry, haiku, and free verse. Once our poetry books are bound, students will be practicing reading them aloud for the Open Mic.

Upcoming Events: Memorial Day Program on May 26. The t-shirts are done and students are rehearsing for the performance!
