Happy May!

In math, we have been working on solving algebraic equations and graphing. Some parents have said that they are doing this same thing in their college courses! The students are doing a great job learning how to balance the equations and put the information on a graph.

In social studies, we just finished studying the Civil War, and will be celebrating with a Civil War reenactment, put on by a local Bridgton accountant Tom Chandel and a "former fifth-grade mom," Heather Brown. We started reading a Native-American novel together called, "The Birchbark House."

In science, we are studying fossils. You may have seen our picture in the Bridgton News with Professors Digs-A-Lot and Digs-A-Little!

In reading, we are working on Readers Theater, which we will present at our Pride in Our School day on May 21st.
