News Update by Stephanie and May














We have almost finished our Mayan Headdresses in art. In PE we have been creating Mayan dances for our performance. In music, we have been working on the music that we will play. So get ready for a great performance!

We have recently started studying Pennsylvania. You may have noticed from the homework. We have learned the state flower (Mountain Laurel), the state bird (Ruffed Grouse), the state tree (Hemlock) , the state animal (White-Tailed Deer), and the state fish (Brook Trout). We also learned the state nickname: The Keystone State.

The book Mrs. Amoroso is reading to us is called Running Out of Time. It is about a 13 year-old girl named Jessie. She lives in Clifton, a tourist site. She thinks it's 1840 but then she finds out it's really 1996. Ask your daughter to explain it to you.

We had two ladies come from the EPA to see us in science. Their names were Stephanie Branche-Carter and Regina Poeske. They brought us out to the woods and showed us things to do with wetlands. One thing they taught us was that the red color on the soil is rust.















We recently had an assembly with our Springside sisters. We sang songs like Take Me Out to the Ball Game because the Phillies were playing. Almost everyone wore red in support for the Phillies.
