Miss Eichner’s class has begun inviting in their “Mystery Readers”! They have loved having family members come into the classroom to read a story. The kids get clues supplied by their parents and they have to try and guess who it might be! We think the parents have more fun with it than the students!
1st graders created their own "therapeutic puppy artwork" . We talked about textures, feelings, and the process of creating an artwork, such as molding clay and how art can be therapy. We discussed the therapy dogs and what their purpose is. What a fun lesson!
The kids have really enjoyed it and they have done so good with the dogs! Now Ms. Lybrook wishes she had a dog in the art room all the time!
Our Erie Experience students had the chance to experience a private tour of the Erie Cemetery and learn how its history has shaped our community.

Nick Scott Jr. spoke to our students about his family immigrating from Greece and how they build their business into what it is today. This was a great opportunity for our students to learn the history behind a successful local business and how it ties into our Erie culture. Thank you to Nick Scott Jr. and Scott Enterprises for making this possible.

This week student at FMS could purchase tickets for a chance to pie a teacher in the face. All proceeds to benefit local animal shelters. Wonder who the lucky teachers will be!
As part of our Read-A-Thon, the PTO had therapy dogs come in from Alliance of Therapy Dogs. During their Library special, student had the chance to read to the dogs. Needless to say, it was very well received by everyone alike...students, teachers, dogs, but definitely not more than the office secretaries!

Last week we celebrated Read Across America week! We had such great themes everyday, such as Mixed up Monday, Wild Wednesday and Fun Friday. Thursday was Think About It Thursday...students (and teachers) were encouraged to dress up as their favorite book character. We had everything from Harry Potter to Crayons to Rock, Paper Scissors. What a fun way to get our students excited about their favorite books and being creative!
