LET'S GO PHILLIES!!!

Last week we celebrated Founder's Day with the entire school.  Games and activities were run by the older students.  Everyone had so much fun!  

We had a visit from the Upper Darby Fire Department to see how well we do with our fire drills.  They were kind enough to pose for a picture with the Early Childhood students!

Who's ready for Halloween!  The boys and girls had a blast with our Halloween  crafts this week.  We decorated a haunted house and with the help of Mrs. Mueller, we were able to use Halloween stamps to make it super spooky! We did marble painted spider webs with Mrs. Clay and scary water colored witches! The final projects are hanging beautifully in our hall.

The boys and girls are working very hard with their handwriting skills.  We work on having good posture when writing, holding the book with our non-writing hand, and taking our time to make the letters correctly.
