New Learning in Math and Science...

Yesterday, Dutton Hart, Thorsten's mom, worked with a small group of students to use Math in the real world.  They read, measured, mixed, and baked SMURFBERRY muffins and shared this delicious treat with all of us.  And yes, they were BLUE!  No artificial ingredients; their secret was blueberry jelly!  :)

If you'd like to volunteer to make a healthy treat with a group of 4 students, please drop me a note.  We love friends coming in to learn with us!

In the afternoon, Mrs. Romeo, the coordinator of our Four Winds Science Program, and Ms. Katie, our environmental studies graduate student, taught us some amazing facts about leaves and what they do for trees.  I hope all of you enjoyed our beautiful leaf rubbings!

We still need a parent volunteer to work with Katie and our children.  If this peaks your interest, drop me a note and I'll get you started.  It's great fun!

Reading the Morning Message together!

Positive Behavior Intervention System Presentation

I would like to invite all of my parents to a special presentation of PBIS by the PBIS committee teachers.  The teachers will explain all about this innovative program that is in its first year of implementation at Porter's Point School.  The teachers will explan how our new intervention system works, where we are now, and what the future looks like for our PBIS school.

This is a PTO sponsored event and begins @ 6:30 p.m. on November 10th at PPS.  See you there!

Skywriting our new letter!
