NIS February News
Nantucket Intermediate School
Fabulous February!
What a fabulous February of learning we had! This time of year there are minimal interruptions to the teaching and learning happening for our students and as a result, we witness tremendous growth and progress. This was also a month of robust community partnerships resulting in some really great experiential learning experiences. Many thanks to Strong Wings who partnered with our counselors to provide rich teambuilding experiences to all of our current fifth graders during Social/Emotional learning time. Strong Wings also engaged a third grade and fourth grade small group this month. The Linda Loring staff worked with our third graders as they studied the weather. Third graders have been checking our rain gauge outside ever since! The NHA provided lessons and learning experiences to both grades four and five this month to enrich their learning about archeology and colonial life respectively. Our fifth graders also worked with Mark Willett from the Wannacomet Water Company and took a field trip to the water company pump station to enrich their science unit on water. We are wrapping up February by beginning our Enrichment Clusters for all grade levels this year. The community partners we have participating in these creative learning opportunities are abundant and valued. How fortunate we are to live in a place where our community is so supportive of our schools and students' learning.
I wish you all a wonderful, peace-filled week ahead. Don't forget to talk math with your kiddos any opportunity you get and encourage them to keep reading on vacation.
Warm wishes to you all and see you in March!
