Ms. Costas' second grade class is enjoying a special visit from Indian Rock! Students are learning about the tools, foods and the culture of Connecticut’s early Native Americans. They are using hands-on examination of reproduction artifacts and storytelling to bring to life our first native inhabitants.
These in-class programs were presented by staff of
the Environmental Learning Centers of Connecticut, based at Indian
Rock Nature Preserve in Bristol, CT. Today's visits to all second
grade classrooms was made possible through a mini-grant by the Granby
Education Foundation.

Kelly Lane Field Day was awesome! Miss K did a great job organizing and fun was had by all, even the staff! Even though it was very hot the students had many fun ways to stay cool. Thanks Miss K for all of your hard work. It was a blast!

Kelly Lane students participated in a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) day on Thursday. Students were given 10 index cards and 10 inches of masking tape. The challenge was to create the tallest structure that stood on its own. Students used engineering, creativity and problem solving skills to create these masterpieces.
Fact Fluency is more than just speed. It is also the ability to think flexibly and efficiently. Students play math games to increase fact fluency.
Students utilize evidence based behavioral supports to help them succeed in the classroom. We use visual schedules to communicate the sequence of upcoming activities, visual timers to signal when an activity is ending, and token boards to help teach, maintain, and generalize student behaviors.
We were excited to welcome Lost Acres Fire Department to Kelly Lane today. Firefighter Billy Langdon stopped by to talk to us about fire safety. Thanks to Lost Acres Fire Department and Billy for stopping by. We are looking forward to seeing him again next week.
