The third grade had their first “room transformation” of the year. Teachers transformed their classrooms into a football theme where students were “drafted” onto teams and practiced skills in math, reading, writing, and grammar. At the end of the day, students celebrated with football-themed snacks and games. Room transformations are when teachers choose a theme and decorate the room accordingly, as well as gearing learning activities to that theme, as well. Fifth graders recently went on their annual TERN trip to White Sands Beach in order to examine the physical and biological properties of the beach by making observations and gathering data on weather, sand, seawater, and living organisms. Students studied the variation of plants on the beach, dunes, and nearby waters as well as studying their adaptations for survival. Students also went on fun beach-combing scavenger hunts as part of these investigations. The Springs School library is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month this month. Librarian Ms. Comber is featuring several books that celebrate and teach about Hispanic culture and invite everyone to come check out these books! The PTA is preparing for the first Book Fair of the year. It will be held October 21st through 25th and is open during school hours. Anyone interested in volunteering their time to work at the Book Fair and help children pick out books can contact PTA president Ashley Libath at [email protected]. Red Ribbon Week is being recognized this week. Students are participating in “spirit days” each day which include a crazy sock day, hat day, and a wear red day. Red Ribbon Week teaches the importance of making healthy choices in life and saying no to drugs. The week includes an assembly led by East Hampton D.A.R.E. Officer Kim Notel and a poster contest for grades kindergarten through fourth. Eighth graders are fundraising for their overnight trip to Boston in the Spring. They are selling pies and cakes which will be delivered just in time for Thanksgiving. Money raised in this sale helps supplement the cost of the trip. Catalogs and order information can be found on the Springs School website (springsschool.org).
