Monica Grabin

Monica Grabin visited the 4th grade today to teach them about Maine's history through songs and stories.

Her songs about loggers connected well with the logging workshop the students had at the Maine State Museum.

Thanks to the PTO for allowing us to have these wonderful enrichment opportunities.

Ask your child about the experience!

Learning About Moses Greenleaf

   
   We had a special visitor today who taught us about Moses Greenleaf, Maine's first mapmaker. Holly Hurd works for the Osher Map Library and wrote a book called The Moses Greenleaf Primer which is illustrated by her daughter. The Masons at Casco Lodge #36 in Yarmouth generously purchased fifty copies of the book for YES 4th graders. We look forward to using the book to understand Maine's unique history. Ask your child about this visit.

Lighthouses

Gordon Corbett will be working with the 4th graders this Friday to teach them about lighthouses.  Ask your child what s/he learned over the weekend.

We went lobster fishing today! We wanted to walk in Skiffy's shoes to see what his life is like in The Young Man and the Sea.
