We had a wonderful trip to Columbia! The weather was perfect and the day full of adventure. The Riverbanks Zoo had so much to offer from feeding giraffes to watching penguins have their lunch. It was wild! We then drove to the State House where a picnic lunch was enjoyed in the shade of a large oak tree. The tour was so informative and we felt really special to see our government at work. Thanks to Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Ramsdell and Mrs. Cromley for chaperoning. Ask the students if they remember how many steps we climbed to the top of the State House.

The third grade will attend Charlotte`s Web at the Peace Center
on May 3rd. It will be fun to compare the play to the book.
The school did a great job with the Spring Performance. The third grade Motown group was a huge hit!
It certainly brought back memories for me, and what “groovy’ costumes!
Thanks to Mrs. Ringer and all invloved.
Again, we congratulate Mrs. Burns and her family on the arrival of her new baby boy. Owen Burns was born March 22nd.
We loved reading Charlotte`s Web. Her are a few creative poems written about the story:
Some Pig
These are the words in Charlotte`s web high up in the barn.
Affection and protection Trust and Trechary
Miracle and adventure and a pig named Wilbur

Templeton`s Feast
Templeton is very fat.
That`s because he is a rat.
Oh, so is his cat.
He`s so fat he can`t be a rat!
But oh dear he is a rat.
He is such a glutton, oh he just found a button!
