Library at NMES

In the LMC (Library Media Center) Mrs. Bradshaw read books by Tedd Arnold to Ms. Finkel's class. After the stories, students did a coloring project of characters from one of the stories. They then selected and checked out their books.

Hi children,

Thanks for your posts. We have really enjoyed reading all about your school. We are the Turtles class and we are 5 and 6 years old. There are 30 of us in our class. We have written some questions for you.
How many children are in your classes?
Is it nice not having to wear school uniform?
Do you have school dinner or packed lunches?
What time do you start and finish school?
What is your country like?

Thank you. We hope to hear from you soon.

From the Turtles class.

Technology Class

Mrs. Hughes' class is in the Computer Lab with Mrs. Doolittle. In this lesson they are using software called Kidspiration to brainstorm for ideas about places they would be sure to show the English children if they came to visit Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Money Game

We use a math program called Everyday Math. One way that students learn in this program is by playing games. Ms. Finkel's class is playing "Pick a Coin".

Snack Time

Lunch is early in the day, so to keep the energy level up, it's time to break for a snack.

Music Class

In music class, Mrs. Dean's class was trying to determine whether Vince Guaraldi's song Linus and Lucy is in rondo form. Mrs. Devoe showed the students some of the dances that the Peanuts characters do. They were to dance whenever they heard the "A" music and sit for the other parts.

Cold Spring Recess

Lunch is followed by recess at Cold Spring. Most of the children chose to play on the playground equipment. A small group of boys played ball on the blacktop. Only one second grader joined the fourth graders on the soccer field as the goalie.

Lunchtime at Cold Spring School

Lunch today is pasta with or without meat sauce and meatballs. The children choose in the cafeteria line or bring lunch from home.

When the weather is nice, the children at Cold Spring School have lunch outside at picnic tables with umbrellas.

Gym Class

Mrs. Munoz's class played at a series of game stations in their Physical Education class with Mrs. Nye.

Lunchtime at Nathaniel Morton

Right after recess the second graders go to the cafeteria for lunch. Some students bring lunch from home and others purchase their lunches. The choices on the day this video was taken were Macaroni and Cheese or French Toast Sticks with Sausage.
