Spirit Day - Friday, February 17, 2017

Good Morning FW Parents,

As a culmination to our second behavior incentive this year, we will be having a school-wide PAJAMA DAY* on Friday this week.  Our students have been striving to earn coupons for "Outstanding Effort" and have achieved numerous over the last few weeks!  If you are unaware of our new school behavior incentive, here's a brief summary.  We are now the Francis Wyman SOARing Falcons.    

S = Self Control

O = Outstanding Effort

A = Acts of Kindness

R = Respect

*Pajama attire includes tops, bottoms and appropriate foot attire for outdoor recess.

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to call the office at 781-270-1701.

Thank You,

Julie Conley

 Busy Exploring Science

First grade students in Mrs. Jefferson's class explored "sound" with a wide variety of both genuine and student made instruments.  They practiced vocabulary such as friction, pitch, tone, and vibration.  It was "music to my ears" to hear students explore and talk about their scientific discoveries about sound.

 Superfish Day in Kindergarten...

Mr. Musselman joined our Kindergarten students for a presentation on ocean life.  He displayed a wide variety of ocean animals, describing both vertebrates and invertebrates to the crowd.  The presentation was made complete with the fresh smell of squid adding to the authentic ocean experience!  
Thanks to Mr. Musselman and the Kindergarten team for supporting this learning opportunity.
