Dear PWS Families,
Yesterday's Halloween festivities will not soon be forgotten. All of the creative costumes were the best part of the day. Thank you to everyone for your understanding and flexibility as we had to move the event indoors this year. Even with the sudden changes, it still went off without a hitch.
Today, we were able to get outside and enjoy some recess with our first graders. The best part was watching many of them learn to master the monkey bars. As each child swung there was a whole team of friends chanting their name and encouraging them to take on the new challenge. Later, these same first graders turned our dining hall into a Penguin Palace where they pretended to be wearing fancy clothes and practiced their finest dining room manners.
This week our second graders had the opportunity to travel to Beaver Brook Science Center. They learned about 3 different types of habitats (wetlands, Forest, Field), who lives in them, and got some hands on experience of the differences found in each one. They also learned what to do if we spot a black bear, the difference between beaver lodge vs. beaver dam, and the difference between an herbivore, carnivore & omnivore. Here are some pictures of this experience.
Remember, our Veterans Day Assembly is coming up soon. Please click the link below for more information about how you may be able to take part and help us out with this outstanding event.
Finally, we have added a book to our front lobby that we hope you will help us write. When you have a moment, please feel free to write us about your favorite moments at Peter Woodbury School. We want to capture the stories, experiences, and memories that make PWS such a special place.
Have a Great Weekend,
Cheryl Daley, Principal
Dan Mitchell, Assistant Principal
