Stonehedge was fortunate enough this St. Patrick's Day to have several students from the Harrington School of Irish Dance perform for our students.
The dancers performed traditional jigs and other dances. They even invited students up to teach them a few quick moves in front of everyone! We were also treated to a bagpipe performance by Mr. Cunningham.
Second graders Enya (left) and Kylie showed their St. Patrick's Day spirit.
Each year, Mrs. Schweitzer's second grade students send Lucky Grams to prior teachers. The Lucky Grams are a letter letting their former teachers know how lucky they feel to have know them! In the photo above, Mrs. Vislosky stands with former students (from left) Angie, Julianna, and Kaelyn who wrote her a Lucky Gram.
Several little leprechauns made their way into school recently. Luckily, we didn't notice any mischief though!
Last week, our first grade students were treated to a morning spent with local maple syrup expert "Mr. G". Groups trekked through the deep snow outside to watch Mr. G demonstrate tapping a tree to get sap out. Upon returning to the classrooms, the students were shown how to boil down the sap and turn it into syrup.
Focusing on Patience and Acceptance
This month we highlight patience and acceptance as our Character Education traits. Students in Mrs. Cunningham and Mrs. Mathewson's classes gave a clever demonstration on being patient with each other and accepting of each other's ability to make a basket while playing a game.
Students show patience by being flexible and tolerating a shift in plans without whining or complaining. Taking turns and sharing attention are also signs of a child who is developing patience. In this fast-paced world of ours, it is sometimes difficult to be patient, but remember, our children are always watching how we ourselves show patience.
Students in first grade on the left demonstrate how to be patient and supportive as their friends play basketball. Students on the left showed how NOT to be supportive and patient during the assembly.
