The students and staff alike had a blast guessing who our "Masked Readers" were this week during "Read Across Kelly Lane." A big shout out to Mrs. Wyzik, Mrs. Diemer and our "Masked Readers" Mrs. Coons, Mrs. DiCiancia, Mr. Higbee and Mrs. Young! It was fantastic!

Ms. Costas’s second grade class participated in a human number line for their math unit! The entire 2nd grade lined up outside to put themselves in order and counted all the way up to 120! This goes hand in hand with what we are learning in class, adding and subtracting using a number line.
Students in Mrs. Bisaillon’s kindergarten class enjoy their soft start mornings! Students pick from a variety of activities to reinforce multiple skills: fine motor, academic, SEL and more!
This week teachers participated in professional development to enrich reading partnerships. We can’t wait to implement these buddy reading strategies in the classroom!
Students in Ms. Porter's preschool class have been reading books with winter themes, in particular Jan Brett. Students read The Mitten during our read aloud and participated in a variety of activities and experiences related to the story. Some students used a Q-Tip to paint a mitten, some students worked on their story retell skills by stuffing the animal pictures into a mitten, and other students went to dramatic play and acted out the story with stuffed animals! It was such a fun day!

In Miss Colaccino's second grade class we worked on starting the new calendar year by setting goals for ourselves based on how we want to grow!

Students in Mr. Higbee's first grade class are working on math work stations.
In Miss Brown's first grade classroom our mathematicians are practicing their math fact fluency by playing games, whole class activities and small group instruction!
The Preschool students in Mrs. Peterson's class have been learning about the winter season, winter animals and fun things to do in the winter. While engaging in a fun STEM activity using toothpicks and marshmallows to build igloos, the students strengthened their visual motor skills. While engaged in the activity they conversed at the table about different shapes they could build and how they could make their structures steady.
In Spanish 1st and 2nd graders used a digital dice to roll random numbers and exercise while counting out numbers 1-10. 2nd graders REALLY liked doing pushups!! Kindergarten students are learning to identify winter clothing in Spanish through watching a video. They are also used the digital dice to roll random numbers and exercise while counting out numbers.
Kelly Lane mathematicians are ringing in the New Year with some amazing math work. Kindergarteners are learning to add and subtract to ten, First Graders are adding and subtracting with teen numbers and Second Graders are learning to measure with centimeters and inches.
In science, Mrs. Kibby's 2nd graders got to make a riverbed from sand and then simulate a river. They then got to build a dam and investigate how this changed the river and the land around it. We had fun!
