Broadway, Here We Come!
Mrs. Thonus

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5,.....Blast Off! No autographs, please! Our production of "Journey Through The Solar System" was a smash hit! The students were so enthusiastic about this project and many actors proposed ideas for adding actions and/or dialogue to their parts. The suggestions were creative and added a lot to the finished production.

The audience was entertained and educated at the same time. We sang, danced, and acted our way through our solar system and have learned so much about the worlds around us. Our last performance was followed by a wonderful cast party. Thank you so much parents for providing wonderful goodies. A slide show of our production and full video is playing on this web site. Bravo! I want to congratulate everyone for a job well done. 

MCAS Math

Third graders will be taking the MCAS test in math on May 12 and 14. You can help prepare your child at home by practicing math facts, particularly multiplication. Extra practice and review for many math concepts, such as: fractions, money, time, addition, subtraction, and multiplication, can be found on this website. An index of the topics are found on our homepage under "Math" on the navigation guide.

Making sure your child has a good night's rest and eats a healthy breakfast are two other ways you can help you child do their best on this important test. Thank you for all your support at home!

Please remember that all of these math skills are "Life Skills" too!  They all contribute to being a successful adult.

The Fieldtrips Are Coming

These last two months of school are full of adventures! Our PTO will be sending us on two more wonderful trips this year.  Thank you PTO! 

On May 13 we will be traveling to the Cape Cod Canal. It is a special chance to explore an important feature of Cape Cod . Visit the CapeCod Canal website to learn about its interesting history.

Third and fourth graders will travel to Barnstable High to see the Cape Cod Symphony perform on May 5. This is a half day trip. Thank you Cobb Fund. 

There is also a whale watch trip on June 4. No raindate. We will depart from Barnstable Harbor on a Hyannis Whale Watch boat. All of these field trips enhance our social studies and science units about our very own Cape Cod. More information and permission slips will be coming home as the dates approach for the various trips.

Students always enjoy the opportunity to visit these great places and experience history and science firsthand! On this Web site you can surf the Internet and go on a virtual tour of Cape Cod by visiting the Cape Cod page under the Social Studies section on this web site. Please, check out the page on whales, too, under the science section. There are some great links for learning about these incredible creatures!
