The fifth and sixth grade teacher-team got to go on our own field trip last week! We left your students in good hands for two days as we headed to Providence, Rhode Island to a conference hosted by the New England League of Middle Schools.

We were motivated by the many inspiring presenters there, and are excited to bring what we learned, experienced, and thought about back to the classrooms. In fact, we already have done a bit of this - even on our first day back!

It was so great to have such a rich learning experience as a team. Middle school students have their own unique challenges, but more importantly, bring so many new ideas and ways of thinking to share with each other as they learn together each day.  There really is "Magic in the Middle"!

On another note, the 6th Grade will be traveling to the HOP Friday morning. There, they will get to experience a dance performance presented by dancers from Brazil. Lucky them!!

Other Important Dates:
•    April 13th--EXPO (5:30-7:00)
•    May 11th-13th--6th grade Hulbert Trip
•    June 10th--Graduation (and last day of school)

Please, as always, be sure to check out the individual class pages on the blog for more information!!
