Highlights of the Week

In Reading Workshop we learned about identifying an author's purpose for writing.

Crazy Hat/Hair Day!

Students explored giant maps of Woolwich in small groups.

Students used their own small maps to do several scavenger hunts to find various places on the map.

We learned to use coordinates to find streets and roads in Woolwich.

Mr. Libby read us a book at lunch on Thursday.

We did some fun Dr. Seuss activities on his birthday Friday.

This shows a student's work following a scavenger hunt with the Woolwich map.

At the Maine Maritime Museum on Friday we learned about cargo.

Students got to try their hand at some tools for drilling holes.

We found out it was hard work.

Then we got to use other tools to fill the cracks in.  

The whole class took turns putting together the pieces of a puzzle to build a ship.

This scuba diver was one of the obstacles that students had to circumvent during the obstacle course.

Each student got to practice carrying cargo (potatoes and wood) while avoiding common ocean obstacles.

We had time to explore the museum at the end.  

The inside of a captain's office was a big hit!

Mr. Mitchell led us in a fun game.

On Friday we welcomed a community reader who introduced us to a fun new series .

The always anticipated Dr. Seuss Cafe!

Students chose special snacks from the menu.

Clever Dr. Seuss Snacks

We got to hear some of our favorite Dr. Seuss stories.

The kids thought it was pretty funny that the teachers in our wing were all wearing the exact same shirt!
