SJS 3rd graders have been learning about small animals and habitats as part of their science lessons. Students have just completed researching, writing, and illustrating a short book about an assigned animal. Today the 3rd graders dissected (sanitized) owl “pellets,” as they learned about owls and what they eat. Here are a few pictures from Mrs. Phelan’s 3rd grade class.
On Monday, June 11, the HSA will be hosting a Mom’s Night Out at Lucky Taco in Manchester. This will be a great way to catch up with fellow SJS moms before the start of summer vacation! Please mark your calendars and keep an eye out for additional details.
After saying a prayer for safe travels, SJS 1st graders released their butterflies into the wild yesterday afternoon. Our 1st grade students have watched these classroom pets go from caterpillars to chrysalises to butterflies as part of their science studies, keeping a journal with their personal observations throughout the transformation. The 1st grade classes have also been reading stories about butterflies and even visited the butterfly encounter on their field trip to the science center last week. Here are a few pictures from yesterday’s butterfly release.
Grades 4 & 5 will have instrumental music lessons and band tomorrow, Tuesday, May 22nd.
