Mount Everett's Sixth Grade is working on a project involving measurement and data.

The students also gain an increased level of responsibility and respect for one another while collaborating and working with students of all ages.
Students from Mrs. Mercier's Advisory and the Pace program visited Mystic Aquarium with SEL curriculum in mind. Students explored aspects of self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship skills. Students were encouraged to identify their own emotions, integrate personal and social identities, demonstrate and use stress management strategies, set collective goals, develop interest and a sense of purpose, and collaborate to use their problem-solving skills. Students watched a California sea lion show, explored the touch tanks with lion sharks and sting rays, and visited the many tanks and sea animals.

Through a grant from the New Marlborough Cultural Council, the Kindergartners at New Marlborough Central explored parts of Beartown State Forest with local Wilderness Educator, Tes Reed. They observed signs of beaver activity in the form of chewed branches and, upon investigating further, eventually spotted a lodge close to the edge of the water. They compared this to another lodge further away and to a dam. Further down the trail, porcupine activity was abundant, and to everyone's delight, a young porcupine was soon spotted in a tree! Other highlights included seeing trillium, bouncy moss, hobblebush, and moosewood!
Due to the weather forecast for tomorrow, the Special Olympics have been postponed until next Wednesday, May 10th.
