At Kelly Lane we use fidgets to help us stay focused and alert. They also help us to reset if we get distracted.
"A Little Spot of Feelings" series of books helps students learn about and identify their feelings. We also learn different coping strategies to help us deal with our emotions.

In Miss. Colaccino's first grade class we took some time to honor Bus Safety Week by appreciating and thanking our bus drivers by writing them thank you notes! We used our phonics knowledge with our new understandings of vowel sounds and digraphs to write words such as "thank" and "much" when writing the sentence "thank you so much!"
Today we thanked our bus drivers for doing such a great job, day in and day out, getting our students to and from school safely everyday! Thank you!!
We are active in the music room! All grade levels do a variety of activities that involve singing, playing instruments and moving to music. A few highlights are kindergarten students are moving in the classroom like squirrels (including sleeping squirrels!), 1st grade is pre-reading music notation using the sticks, and 2nd grade students are exploring a variety of instruments and how to follow a conductor!
The students in Mrs. Peterson's class spent the week learning about the life cycle of an apple and how apples grow. In art they used apples to stamp and paint. In Science we used our sense of taste to try 3 different varieties of apples and voted on our favorite one. The class created a graph and we talked about "more" and "less" using our graph. Red Delicious was our class favorite! We finished out the week strengthening our fine motor skills cutting up apples to make homemade applesauce and then taste testing it! It was delicious!
