Winter Concert

The Nathan Hale Orchestra, Band and Chorus delighted the standing-room only crowd at the annual winter concert. Mrs. Hilliard, Mr. Ferrante and Mrs. Telesca worked very hard to showcase the talent of our students.

Students chart progress

Teachers are working with students so that they can graph and see their own progress throughout the year. You will see many examples of Data Walls in the classrooms and hallways.

Ms. Miner prepares the first grade Data Wall in the hallway. As students progress during the year, the will be able to see and celebrate their progress!

Second Graders document shapes with digital cameras.

Mrs. Bordeaux and Mrs. Perkins had their students hunt for squares, circles, rectangles, equilateral triangles, cubes, spheres, cylinders, parallel lines, rectangular prisms. The students were taught how to use the digital cameras, given clipboards and pencils, and set off in small groups to search the hallways and classrooms. Their lesson ended with a slideshow that reviewed all the different shapes.

Can you identify the shapes? (Check out those parallel lines.)

Storyteller Len Cabral visits our school!

Len Cabral, storyteller and author, visited our school October 1st and told stories to all the students.

He had students in 3rd, 4th and 5th grades tell fairy tales and folktales. He sent them into the library to the 398.2 section to read and study the stories.

In the picture below he is working with a group of 5th grade students to develop and hone their storytelling skills. He also told stories at the Ice Cream Social!
