Pep Rally



This week we had a pep rally to get everyone excited for Friday Night Lights. The pep rally was full of cheers and fun. The whole school came out and we cheered the seniors. Wayne danced and the band played a lot of fun songs while Gene conducted with a helmet with horns. Friday Night Lights is a festival with food, soccer games, ice cream, and lots of fun for everyone.

Mystery Trip - 2025

Every year 4-5 takes a mystery trip. We don't know where we are going and we find out when we get there. Sometimes we go to the beach or a lake. The teachers kick off the conversation with absurd ideas. Sometimes it is an exotic place or a spot that doesn't even exist. This year they told us we were going to a bean factory, (which was knocked down) a farm that had a rare and elusive invisible sheep called cloud sheep, and that we would be working for the Morton Salt Company picking salt off the salt hay on the marsh. The teachers told us that after we help with the beans and salt we would get credit on the labels of the containers and we would get to bring home the wool of the cloud sheep. Last year's kick off was even more absurd. They told us we were going to a donut farm to plant donut seeds which were cheerios, go to have tea with the late Queen in England, go on a treasure hunt, and visit the cheese museum. After telling us where we were going the teachers gave us a pa...

Self Portraits

A few weeks ago, we started creating self portraits. We learned about Romero Britto and his style , which includes patterns, bold lines, bright colors and simple designs. We all added food into our Romero Britto-inspired self-portraits because we are telling people about ourselves and our favorite foods. We are doing a study called Local Foods and we are adding foods, sometimes in repetitive patterns, to our portraits. We hung the portraits in our classroom and now we can see the similarities and differences in our class. By showing our favorite foods others can relate and connect to us. We assembled the foods into bright patterns and divided the sections with thick black lines like Romero Britto. We also hid other things we like into our self portraits. We put as much detail as we could into the pieces to show our identities. After we finished them, we mounted them on black paper and hung them on the wall. We hope you like them.  This is our first blog post of the year and we work...

Science Class

In science class, we are working on photosynthesis model projects. We could choose to show any plant that were native plants to Maine. That category includes blueberries, wild strawberries, apples, and potato plants. We each have to label our models with the inputs and outputs of photosynthesis. We also had to add a 3D element to our projects. We had a limited supply of mixed media materials. The first step was to design our plan on a packet of paper. The next step was to show our plan to our science teacher, Autumn. Next, we had two options of building. We could build completely in 3D or keep it flat and mount it on the foam board. Then we built our chosen plants on the foam board! We thought that this project was really great! Sincerely, Lizzie and Landon
