FES students love when the snow falls! Students spend 20 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes after lunch playing outside. In the winter, students build snow forts, roll giant snow balls, and jump around in the fresh air. Through this play, students are learning important social-emotional skills and developing their gross motor skills.

Francestown residents Kelly Marshall and Nichole DeDecker have been working with two of our classroom teachers to plan our Outdoor Lions Learning (OLL) Time. Once a month, the FES Lions spend the whole morning (from arrival until noon) learning outside. On Thursday November 21, we had our first OLL experience. We began by gathering in a clearing in the woods for all-school Morning Meeting. From there, we split into our OLL multiage teams and rotated through 5 outdoor learning stations. Students measured things in nature, built community by creating mandalas, engaged in woods play, sketched in their science journals, and studied what different NH animals do in the winter. With rosy cheeks and hearty appetites, the students headed back inside to enjoy a wonderful Harvest Feast with families.

Francestown is truly a community school. We are so grateful to all of the community members who support the experiences of the students at FES! On Monday October 28th, Francestown resident, Brad Bull, delivered enough of his home grown pumpkins so that each student at FES could carve one for Halloween. Students helped to unload the pumpkins and parents and former FES alumni hollowed them out. Working with their literacy/math buddies on Tuesday morning, students carved their pumpkins and now they are decorating the front walk up to the entrance of the school. After our Halloween parade on Oct. 31st they will get moved up to the Town Hall for trunk-or-treat!

On a bright, crisp, autumn morning, FES students and staff walked down to the Fire Station where Kevin Holdredge and the rest of the crew at the Francestown Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department took time out of their day to educate our students about how they serve and protect our community. Students had the opportunity to look at and touch equipment, see and hear about how the rescue teams help us in an emergency, and learn a little bit about why Francestown is #37. The dedication of the volunteers in this department is so important and we are thrilled to have the chance every year to visit.
