Mrs. Tardif's Kindergarten class had fun with Math and Science. They were able to play several math games this week in Kindergarten. We enjoyed "Roll it," "The Disappearing Train Game," and "The Sneaky Snacky Squirrel Game."
They also used the Promethean board to create different insects - with head, thorax, wings and antennas. They love using this technology in our room - sometimes even competing in teams!
Pre-K to 5th grade students participated in the reading incentive program Bikes for Books, sponsored by Solar Star Lodge #14 AF&AM of Bath. Here are a few very happy winners.
🎨✨ Together we Learn was a HUGE success! Thank you to all the families who brought energy and creativity to our art, music, and literary activities! 💖 Shoutout to our fantastic PTA and volunteers for keeping the snack station running!
Last week, the fifth grade students visited the vernal pools behind our school, guided by the dedicated members of the Phippsburg Conservation Committee. 🌊🐸 A huge thank you to our community volunteers: Ellen Winchester, Michelle and Mark Holdridge, and Terry Whetstone! 🙌 The students collected salamander and frog eggs to observe in our classroom aquarium. What a fantastic way to learn about local ecosystems!
Phippsburg students in fourth grade explored Jewell Cemetery last week with Mr. Vande and his father, Mr. Hunter! These dedicated volunteers are keeping our history alive. Learning about our ancestors is a beautiful way to connect with our community roots.

📚✨ Storytime just got a whole lot cuter! Mrs. Polizotto's kindergarten class is reading to their stuffed animals, and it’s the sweetest sight! 🧸❤️ The kids chose books about their furry friends and read to them, making reading a shared adventure.
The third graders are having a blast swimming at the YMCA on Thursdays, during the Learn to Swim program. What a great opportunity for our students at PES!
Art and Library news from Mrs. Polizzoto.
Students in grades second through fifth had the opportunity to work with Sayon Camara, a drummer and singer who taught students about traditional West African drumming and storytelling. Thank you to generous community donations and our music teacher, Celina Reed, for bringing this unique opportunity to PES.
Last week, fifth graders finished their study of the American Revolution by learning about spies. Some techniques used by Washington's Culper spy ring were: invisible ink, coded messages, and hanging items on a clothesline to signal when and where a meeting was. Thank you for sharing, Mrs.Snell.
Students loved having community Readers in their classrooms today. Thank you to Mr.Nick, Dr.Manuel, Mrs.Brockett, Officer Marco, and Ms. Karasopoulos.
