Billy
Frog Has Been Stolen!
On
November 19th three students, along with Mr. Lewis, Mrs. Carter, and
Miss Tracey, planted Billy Frog into a GeoCache Box at the West
Hartford Reservoir. Using our newly learned GPS skills we found the
GeoCache box and planted Billy inside. Billy's ultimate goal was to
reach Mr. Lewis' high school in Parsippany New Jersey. On August 5th
Billy was stolen when the cache he was placed in was raided. We are
all hoping that Billy will resurface! You can track Billy Frog
and keep up to date on his whereabouts by clicking
here and typing in the Code:
WA2DYZ. We are all hoping that Billy will reappear safe and sound!

Nature's
Classroom!
As we start October we were able to spend three glorious days in
Colebrook, CT at Camp Jewel for Nature's Classroom. The students and
teachers all survived and had a phenomenal time! Taking classes that
ranged from Shark Dissection to making Bouncy Balls, the students
were engaged and surrounded by science and nature all week! From
hiking to rock climbing, the students had a blast! We are in the
process of putting our expository writing skills to work and
creating Nature's Classroom brochures. We're hoping to complete them
within the next 2 weeks and put them up on our bulletin board
outside our classroom for all to see. Come and check it out soon!

Thank
You Parents!
Mrs. Ashworth, Mr. Lewis, and Ms. Cote would like to thank all the
parents that helped load and unload the buses for Nature's
Classroom. We would also like to congratulate you for having such
superb students. We received so many compliments from the Nature's
Classroom staff on the behavior of our students! It was a true
reflection of their upbringing and a proud moment for not only the
students but the teacher's as well. Thank you again for all your
help, support, and preparation for an exciting trip!

Reactionary Science
We
have started science and have begun looking at reaction time. By
dropping a ruler and seeing how quickly we can catch it, we have
been able to calculate our reaction times. We are learning how to
create our own testable question and will soon be creating our own
experiments based on reaction time!
