Edna Libby Kindergarten Curriculum Night

Bring parents, kids, and teachers together for a evening of dinner, reading, learning, and sharing, and you might just capture a moment like this...

Bread baking

Classrooms at Hollis Elementary had the opportunity to do some baking before the holiday break, with Mrs. Pinkham, their teachers, and some parent volunteers.  Students were at stations slicing cranberries, mixing dry ingredients, cracking eggs, and prepping loaf pans, and learned the importance of reading and math skills in baking!  Each student was able to take home their own mini-loaf of cranberry bread.

 

Experiential Learning at Hollis Elementary

In Mr. Poulin's 3rd/4th grade experiential learning classroom at Hollis, students presented their National Park Service projects.  After a study of national parks, students chose their favorite one and engaged in research, writing, design, and art to create a display shared with classes throughout the building.  They worked on speaking and presentation skills as they answered questions posed by teachers, students, and Mr. Gleason.
