This Week at Cold Spring SchoolFriday, February 5, 2010Vacation Child CareThere is still space available for Vacation Child Care for all days during February break. Please see MaryAnn at the front desk to sign up. Art NewsThe art studio would love donations of yarn for various projects. Thanks go to Elsa Steen Koppell's family and to Max Benkard's family for donating boxes of wood scraps. And thank you to the preschool for the Stone Soup! It was delicious! Preschool NewsThe preschoolers learned important lessons about caring for others this week. They had a wonderful discussion about helping people in need, as they prepared to make the "Houses for Haiti". It was amazing to discover how many ideas they had to help the people in Haiti and they were happy to join in the fundraising campaign. This week the class also read six versions of the story Stone Soup (more than we knew ever existed). Thank you to Laura for sharing the vast collection. The children took turns talking about the different vegetables that they brought in to school. On Thursday, the class made their own stone soup to share with each other and other friends. It was truly scrumptious!
Grade 4/5 NewsJames Deakin, a student in Karen and Katy’s 4/5 class, taught an exciting lesson on the Fibonacci Sequence to the 6th grade math class at St. Francis School. James became interested in Fibonacci through his math class and began to research the mathematician outside of school. After weeks of creating and refining the content and structure of his lesson and thinking about his role as a teacher, he shared his knowledge with the appreciative math class at St. Francis.
Grade Six NewsThe sixth grade class is looking for drivers and chaperones to help with their skating trip to Ralph Walker Rink on Thursday, February 11 from 12:45-2:30. There is a sign-up sheet outside the classroom if you are interested. Ice Skating Trips ContinueHere are the dates and times for the ice skating trips to Ralph Walker Ice Rink: Feb 11 - Grades 4-6 from 1:00-2:30 Thank YouThank you to Fernando Pastor, Martin and Yaco's father, for coming to "El almuerzo" with some students from Kate and Catelin’s 2/3 class, and staying the afternoon to visit with Karen and Chris's classes. Penny and Gretta's 2/3 class thanks Gina D'Errico, Samantha's mother, for being their mystery reader last Friday. They enjoyed Princess Hyacinth (the Surprising Tale of a Girl who Floated) by Florence Parry Heide, America is... by Louise Borden, and At the Hotel Larry by Daniel Pinkwater.
