PMFS Traditions: 3rd Grade International Luncheon
Read MoreLast Friday third graders hosted the first International Luncheon since 2019; the culmination of a month-long multi-part family unit study. In school, students researched a place to which they had a family connection, recording what they learned about different topics in a “passport” to that place. At home, third graders talked to their relatives to learn more about their family traditions and history. Through these conversations, each student captured a family story. We celebrated their hard work at Friday’s International Luncheon. Each third grader brought a special food to share at the luncheon. We enjoyed a delicious meal with parents and other family members while listening to each third grader read their powerful family story. Together these stories represented beautiful, diverse families. We are so proud of these brave third graders! -

What's Going On This Week In: 5th & 6th Grade
Read MoreOn Wednesday, students in 5th grade took a “wild walk” through the woods, scribbling notes along the way about sensory details. Upon return, they wrote about the experience, focusing on vibrant, “wild” vocabulary. As they get ready to dive into a personal narrative writing unit next week, this kind of activity prepares them to relive their story in detail rather than just factually recounting it.

Specials Spotlight: Spanish
Cross grade connections! Second graders wrapped up a unit on the calendar with a focus on the days of the week. We read a book incorporating the days and took our learning down the path to Kindergarten. The Second graders read to each Kindergarten class and loved showing how much they could read in Spanish.Read More
