Fun Activities

Today we did a few fun things in first grade as we start to wrap up the school year. We celebrated summer birthdays, recognizing the 5 students in our class who have their birthdays when we aren't in school, and we had a special library class where the Burnham Librarians (our town library) came in to tell the kids all about this year's summer programs at the library. The third exciting thing we did for the day was to plant potatoes for the food shelf! The Colchester Food Shelf is located in the old fire house right next to our school and all first graders got to go plant potatoes in the field behind the food shelf this morning. In the fall, when these students are in second grade, they will go back and harvest the potatoes that have grown to donate to the food shelf! It is really great to have the food shelf next door so that the students can continue learning how to be community helpers!
