This week has been an exciting week to be a second grader at Brookside! On Tuesday, October 7th, we had an in-school presentation by the Fossil Lady. She does an amazing presentation and she had the entire second grade spellbound!
Then the children got to go explore and examine three tables worth of fossils that the fossil lady brought with her.
Then on Thursday, October 9th, the entire school was very lucky to participate in a whole school assembly with Danielle Niles. Danielle Niles is the morning meteorologist for Channel 4 in Boston. She showed the students a video, taught them all kinds of things about meteorology and her job on television, and answered their questions. In the end, she videotaped the entire school sending out a message that will be broadcast on Friday morning.
Thank you to the Brookside PTO for helping to make both of these enriching presentations possible!
Nick was excited to tell us all about this visit… he especially liked the tornado in a bottle!
Tyler was amazed with all the fossils, he loves dinosaurs and is still talking about all his experiences with these visits!
Love the pictures. Brad is really enjoying all the hands on activities!
I am glad to see that kids are doing and learning well.
Hi Mrs. Riordan,
When am I going to look Shiwaum’s photo on blog with his XtraMath addition certificate? I think you are very busy.
Hi Mrs. Khera,
You are right. I have been very busy correcting tests and working on the report cards in addition to preparing for Open House next week. I will give Shiwaum his certificate and take his picture tomorrow. I hope to update the blog this weekend with his and Britney’s Xtramath certificate photos as well as many more exciting photos and posts. Thank you for your patience!
