Author's Tea and recorder concert June 4th

Handsome Bow tied Boys














We had a great time sharing our writing and poetry and technology with all our family members. Thanks for everyone's support and love . The turnout was exceptional!

Cat Hoyt sharing her Ted research with the students.



 Cat came to Pine Glen and interviewed our students on what they thought they were good at.
 Her topic of this talk was how student's self esteem drops as they get older.  Our kids proved her point and she shared her conclusions  with us and her many words of wisdom.
Good luck in college Cat and continue to do amazing things!
Another Successful graduate from 205!

Students had a special treat  when they came back from the Reservoir field trip. Each class had two
Owl Pellets to dissect. Using a Dichotomous Key, they dissected  the pellets with toothpicks and forks.Carefully they pried away the fur to find bones from the owl's prey. 
They used deductive reasoning to figure out what type of mammal the Owl had consumed.  
This was simply Amazing to watch!!
One of my Favorites.
Mrs. Doherty and Mrs. Cunha's classes rotated in to my room for this scientific experience.
Many students were leary of touching the pellet thinking that it was poop. I explained to them that it wasn't and eventually with the help of some surgical gloves all students enjoyed this hands on activity.
