From Our Teachers
The PTC funded our request for a return visit of two guest speakers, William Mourwel and Moses Ajou, to the 5th grade classes. Their presentation included information about their life in Sudan and their transition to America before, during and after the Second Sudanese Civil War. This presentation was a culmination of the 5th grade’s muti-faceted study of Home of the Brave and the Lost Boys of Sudan. In addition, the PTC has funded the 5th grade annual Rocket Launch event. This has included the purchase of rockets for each 5th grade student, along with additional supplies including launch pads, engines, etc.
Colleen Soldato, 5th Grade Teacher
In second grade, every spring we do a big series book club unit. The students love being a part of a book club and diving into a series. During the 2020-2021 school year, second grade needed more diverse series books for the unit. With funding from the PTC, each classroom was able to receive sets of new series for the unit. The teachers and students were very excited!
Gabriella Gonzalez, 2nd Grade Teacher
The PTC has supported kindergarten teachers and students in so many wonderful ways. Through the PTC we have enjoyed visits from the Discovery Museum and the New England Aquarium. We have been able to purchase flexible seating for our classrooms to meet the needs of all learners. Kindergarten has also used funds from the PTC to purchase books for the Social Emotional Learning library. Last year we were able to supply every child with a superhero cape to give kindergarteners reading super powers, which made all the difference! This year the PTC has already enriched our curriculum by purchasing math supplies and materials for centers. Our team is grateful for the work the PTC does for our community!
