Ms. Lacasse's third grade students were drawing advertisements for "Frobscottle" yesterday! "Frobscottle" is an imaginary drink from the novel, the BFG by Roald Dahl. Students had to listen to the description of the drink, and use that in their advertisements, as well as use adjectives and make people want to buy the drink!









Mrs. Lambert's Kindergartners got to go to the fire station this past Wednesday for fire safety week! They have been spending time in the classroom learning about fire safety, reading nonfiction texts, learning fire vocabulary, and making crafts! They got to experience this first hand at the fire station and came back with some goodies! Thank you to the Groveton Fire Department!











How do we want to start a Monday? We love spreading some kindness around, just like these three students who demonstrated a distinguishable amount of kindness towards others last week. Did you know that kindness is contagious? Well, it is! We challenge you to test this and find out for yourself ! Commit to one random act of kindness today, that one act will have a far reaching impact. Happy Monday and stay KIND!

Mrs. Ladd’s 5th graders have been having a blast playing trash-ball. They are collecting data so that they can use the information they collect to make a variety of graphs, such as bar graphs, pie charts, pictographs, point and line graphs and stem and leaf. They will also be using the information to build player profiles to figure out the best trash-ball player in the country.
