CLASSROOMS

KINDERGARTEN

The Kindergarten teachers are very nice.  You get to do fun projects and games.  In the fall we watch butterflies grow.  In the spring we raise chickens!  You watch them hatch, take care of them and play with them.  We also get to try baby food.  Taste your favorite one!

SECOND GRADE

In second grade there are some men and some women teachers.  All the teachers are fun. You get to switch teachers for math and reading.  You can bring in your pet, but you have to get a note from the nurse and permission from parents and teachers.

FOURTH GRADE

In fourth grade there are many activities and special programs.  We have an Owl Program, and Erie Canal Program and Immigration Day!  Dress like you’ve been living in the ancient times all your life!  We switch teachers for math.  We enjoy reading books and responding in our Reading Journals.
