One of our favorite activities is to read with a friend. Today we were reading some of our favorite poems. Each week we read a new poem; this week our poem was CHOOSING A PUMPKIN.

Butterflies Head to Mexico

A student will keep them all winter and send butterflies back to us in the spring. It is a great way to learn about migration, map skills, and to build a sense of ambassadorship. We have been tracking the monarch using Journey North

Thank you Friday.

Last Friday we thanked Deb Lindgren for all she does here at Newell-Fonda.
