Today students started looking over their math work to get ready for student led conferences next Friday.

Today Lindey Stoddard came to to Westford and met with the 3/4 students to discuss her books.

A permission slip for our up coming field trip is coming home with your child today.  

The 3/4 Team will be going to Shelburne Farms on Wednesday. March 25th. The bus will be leaving school by 8:30 and will return in time for students to take the bus home at the end of the day.  The title of the field trip is “Sugar Time!”. Shelburne Farms has requested that each class bring 2 chaperones. If you are interested in helping out with this trip, please sign below-- because of the limited number, we will be in touch with you to confirm space.  There is a $7.00 fee for all students. If this fee causes a hardship for your family, please let us know and arrangements can be made for your child to attend. Finally, if your child needs a bagged lunch from our school lunch program, please check the box below. (The money will be deducted from your child’s school lunch account.)

 Recommendations from Shelburne Farms:

What to bring:  Students should bring a snack, lunch, and water bottle.

 What to wear:   We will be inside and outside during our time together. Please encourage your students and chaperones to look at the weather and dress accordingly & bring plenty of warm layers!

Chaperones: We request that 2 chaperones attend per class. In order to supervise and support small groups, we ask that chaperones do not come with younger siblings. 

Dear Families,

Today we ended our day with a schoolwide celebration. The 3/4 students watched the Lion King.

Yesterday my class had Nature about sound.  They got to try out four different activities around how sound travels.

To help support the 8th grade trip, each team will be collecting items for a basket to be raffled off at the Italian Dinner on April 3rd.  The ¾ team will continue with our tradition of collecting items for a Cat & Dog Basket (food, treats, toys, grooming supplies, etc.). If you are interested in donating items to our basket please send them into school by March 27th.  Items can be dropped off in Mrs. Rochford’s classroom.

Yesterday we learned a lot about rocks during our Nature Class.  Below are some pictures of the activities they did around identifying rocks and fossils.

The Westford Fire Department came in to speak with the 3/4 team about fire safety.

We have met our goal with our fish bowl.  The student voted on a fort day as their celebration.  Students can bring in blankets and sheets to build with Friday, October 4th.
