This week students in grade 2 enjoyed a science presentations sponsored by our PTO! The presentations focused on topics related to the students' current Expedition Learning module - bringing learning to life! This week, educators from the Mass Audubon came to teach our second graders all about fossils. During this hands on program, students examined fossils and explored the study of past living organisms.

Thank you to our PTO and our enrichment coordinator, Emily Gratta, for finding this amazing program!

First grade students, followed along with Ms. Matheson as they explored different rhythms using instruments in music class!

This week in PE class, students in grade1 worked on building and strengthening their balance. Mr. P challenged them to stand on a Bosu while he tossed a weighted ball towards them. They had to catch the ball without falling off! Wow that was tough but fun!

From Chaos to Calm: Supporting your student with Executive Functioning Challenges

When: Monday, January 13, 2025 at 6:30PM

Where: Seth Ventress Building, 76 South River St. (Next to Fire Station) on 2nd Floor

Presented by Deb Booth from Pilgrim Area Collaborative

Executive function is an umbrella term used to describe a set of cognitive processes necessary for emotional and behavioral control. In this workshop, participants will learn what executive functioning skills are and provide insight into their role in student learning and the impact difficulties in executive function (EF) skills have on school success. Oftentimes, students who appear “unmotivated” about schoolwork simply do not have the EF skills required to initiate, plan, organize and persist on school/homework tasks until completion. Parents and caregivers won't want to miss this interactive presentation that will help them gain a clearer picture of how to help their children become more successful and independent learners.

The last time this topic was presented it was a huge hit and all participants walked away with a toolbox for assisting their children and students. This presentation is something from which each of us can gain knowledge and ideas.

This will be presented by Deb Booth of PACES (Pilgrim Area Collaborative) and is brought to you by the Marshfield SEPAC (Special Education Parents Advisory Council).
