Dear Wrentham Families,
Over the past two weeks, we've celebrated the 100th day of school, successfully weathered the Blizzard of 2013, learned about keeping our teeth and bodies healthy, demonstrated exceptional behavior, created science projects, worked cooperatively together, and done so much more! It's a good thing that next week is vacation (Parents - Mark Your Calendars - No School - February 18th - 22nd). We need to rest!
Enjoy some photos of the kids hard at work (and play)!
February is Dental Health Month
The Phases of the Moon
As part of the third grade science unit, the kids learn about the sun and the moon. Check out these fantastic and delicious "phases of the moon" projects. Yum!
As a project with Heights Elementary School in Sharon, Mr. Hughes' 3rd grade class collaborated with another third grade class on a project centered around the book The Last of Really Great Whangdoodles by Julie Andrews Edwards. Groups in each class had to draw and describe what they thought a Whangdoodle looked like. They then exchanged descriptions with the Heights and got to see what the Sharon students created. The project culminated with a Skype session with Heights where students go to ask questions and meet the other students.
Congratulations to the following students who received Positive Referrals! We are so proud of each and every one of them!
Positive Referral Breakfast
On Friday, February 15th, children who received Positive Referrals in the months of November, December, and January were recognized at the 2nd breakfast of the school year. We had a phenomenal turnout! Thank you to all of our teachers and families who support this program and the wonderful students who continuously exhibit amazing choices and behavior.

February is Dental Health Month
Thank you to Dental Associates of Walpole for presenting to our Kindergarten and First Grade students. We learned about brushing and flossing and the importance of choosing healthy snacks. We even got to take home a bag of goodies that included a new toothbrush, toothpaste, floss and a fun book.

Happy Valentine's Day!
Congratulations to the children in Mrs. McNeal's first grade class. Together, they made over 100 words using the letters in Valentines. The previous record was 66 words! Great job boys and girls!
Pictured below are Kindergarten students who wrote Valentine's Day letters to their loved ones. They then hand delivered their letters to the Wrentham Post Office.
The 100th day of school fell on Thursday, February 7th and boy, did we celebrate! There were centers, games, projects, and we even had a 100 year old Kindergarten teacher in our midst. Check out Mrs. Swartzendruber and some of the great projects and activities that occurred.
