Mrs. Tardif shared, "We have been learning lots of facts about bats, and enjoyed listening to Stellaluna. Here are the bats we created!"

The Mrs. Hutchinson's first graders visited the Maine Wildlife Park last Friday. Here are some of the photos they shared.

Due to the weather forecast, Picture Day is postponed to Friday, September 27th. Paper order forms went home September 20th. If you do not wish to order, we would love to have the order forms back. For those who miss Friday, or are unhappy with their photos, we will have a makeup day (not yet scheduled, but generally approx. 3 weeks later).

Mrs. Tardif shares: Here is Kindergarten doing Q-tip painting! Another great way to strengthen the muscles in our fingers!

Mrs. Tardif's Kindergartners are doing their first of many "Pin Pokies." This is an excellent fine motor activity, which strengthens their finger muscles for writing. If you tape it to a sunny window - the shape should shine through!

From Mrs. Tardif September 6th: We learned how to draw a school bus today!
