This week: May 4-May 8

Hasn't it been a lovely weekend?  Sunshine=Happiness!  Briefly, here is what will be going on at NCS this week:

• Grade 7 students will be at Kieve Monday-Thursday.
• Grades 3,4,5,6 will spend some time working on MEA's.  Rest and a healthy breakfast are two great ways to be prepared for school this week.  (One thing no one seems to complain about during MEA's--extra recess breaks!)
• Thursday afternoon @ 3:45:   NCS/JVS here vs. GSB  GO LIONS!
• Friday, May 8:  Kindergarten Registration.   This means no school for Mrs. Powell's current kindergarten class.

Did you have a chance to see/hear 8th grade Be-a-Learner inventions? They have shared some of their reports in a new format within this blog. See Friday's Be-a-Learner post and try following the instructions. Very interesting!   

Coming up, on May 11th, 8th grade and CAL students visit Boston Museum of Science. Other classrooms have been or will be visiting the NHS.  We are fortunate to have that resource so close to this school, and we all appreciate the time historical society members volunteer to share their rich knowledge with students.  Other trips this month include Maine State Museum (gr. 3 & 4), Hurricane Island (gr. 6), and another class will visit the FARMS kitchen. The 7th grade will attend a literary brunch with author Lea Wait to discuss her historical novel Uncertain Glory.  May is a busy and exciting month at school.  Please visit the family calendar on our web page regularly to stay informed.
