This year, to help support the social emotional needs of our multi age classrooms, Jen Swasey, our school counselor, is integrating many of her lessons right into the academic day. This allows students to develop their social emotional skills right alongside their academic ones. Jen is currently working with Team Squirrel on how to take turns while playing a game with peers. This skill is used throughout the day when students are in literacy and math centers. Developing a sense of kindness and fairness in game play allows students to focus on building academic skills while playing a game independently with peers.

Next Wednesday, September
25th from 6 - 7pm.
The format will be a little different this year. We are
asking families to come promptly at 6 and go to your child’s classroom. There
you will get a tour from your child and complete a short activity with them
about your hopes and dreams for their year at FES.
At 6:30, we will invite you to the Multi-Purpose room
where we will have tables set up with different enrichment opportunities for
you to sign your child up for, as well as information about our school lunch
program and our PTO. If you are interested in becoming a designated volunteer
this year, then you will have the chance to get fingerprinted at no cost. If
you have done this in the past, you do not need to repeat the process.
At 6:45 we will show a short video of the students
talking about the beginning of the year. You won’t want to miss that! There
will also be a short Q & A session after the video. You should be all set
to head home at 7pm. We hope you will join us!!

Team Squirrel worked with the Harris Center to explore different kinds of seeds and how they travel. Students learned that some seeds are dispersed by the wind, others attach themselves to animals and take a little ride, while others get eaten by animals in one place and deposited later in a much different place. Students made scientific observations, enriched their vocabulary and even tested out the methods (well, not ALL of them).

This year, the Cornucopia Project is working with our whole Team Squirrel. Students spent their time today weeding out the gardens, planting lettuce, spinach, and dill, and investigating what happened over the summer in the gardens. There was a lot of feeling, digging, smelling, looking, listening, and tasting. Students snacked on the kale that had grown tremendously over the summer. We are so lucky to have dedicated parent volunteers to help out each week as well!
