1st Fifth Grade Research Project

Students are taking what they've learned in Science and applying it to a research project.

Looking Back at Notes

Today students are looking back in their interactive foldables to help them complete a science worksheet. 

THEY ARRIVED!

Thanks to the generous donations made through Donorschoose.org we now have 6 yoga-ball chairs. 

Perfect Pirates Behavior

Grade 5 students, Ella & Georgia, showed FW students the progress they've made so far towards a school - wide reward.

THANK YOU!!

I want to thank those of you who donated to my latest project.  Enough donations were made for it to be complete, and six yoga- ball chairs are being shipped to room 203 at Francis Wyman.  Your generosity is GREATLY appreciated!
