Burnham Library Visit

Last week, we walked to the Burnham Library to meet with Hannah, the children's librarian.  She gave us an amazing tour of the library, read us a great book, showed us how to use the computer to locate books, and then we are able to browse through the books.  Everyone's behavior was amazing and we had a fabulous time!  Here are some photos from our adventures!!



We walked very safely to the Library with our partners!





We all found successful seats and waited for Hannah to read us a story.





Hannah was doing a book talk on the book she was going to read. Look at the amazing listening ears!



Hannah is such an amazing and entertaining reader!



Students had a really great time browsing through the books and finding one to check out!

Burnham Memorial Library Field Trip

On Friday, November 9. 2012 we will be walking to the Burnham Memorial Library.  We will be leaving at 8:50 and walking the short distance.  While we are there, we will meet the Children's Librarian, take a tour of the library, listen to some stories, and maybe even browse through the books.  Reading is an imperative skill and we want to encourage children to read, write, and enjoy the process.  We will return in time for lunch. 

If there is a light rain, we will still walk so make sure that your child is dressed appropriately with hat, mittens, rain coat or winter coat, and boots if it is wet.  If the weather is too severe, we won't go.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call me!

Harvest Celebration

We had a great Halloween Harvest Celebration on Wednesday, October 31, 2012.  We had a great day full of fun and surprises and we ended our day with yummy treats and a spooky story.  Believe it or not, I DID HAVE MY CAMERA!! Here are some pictures of us celebrating!

I also want to send a heartfelt thank you to all of the parents that were able to come and celebrate with us! It made our afternoon even more special!  I would also like to extend a HUGE thank you to Jenn Kerner and Kristin Allard for organizing the food for us!
