Heights

Hi, We are very excited to be working with you, too! Our school is not named after anyone famous. However, in our town, in front of the Sharon library, we have a statue of Deborah Sampson. She is the only famous person that lived in our town. She was born in 1760 and lived in our retired gym teacher's house. Deborah Sampson was famous because she was the first female to fight in a war. She dressed up as a man and renamed herself Robert Shurtleff. Heights Elementary School is located in the Heights Plaza area in Sharon, Massachusetts. We live in a small community. There is a cranberry bog and a beautiful lake named Massapoag. Many of us swim, kayak, or boat in the lake. Our school is the largest elementary school in Sharon. We have kindergarten through fifth grade. Our classroom is on the first floor in room 112. In the morning we have morning work. We usually solve a story problem or write in our journals. Then we have morning meeting. During morning meeting we greet each other, read the morning message, say our classroom pledge, go over our classroom schedule, and do a fun activity. After that, we go to specials. On Monday we have library, Tuesday is art, Wednesday and Friday is Gym, and on Thursday is music. Then we have a snack break. We usually have reading, writing, or math before our lunch break. After lunch, we learn about important people and events in social studies. We just learned about Benjamin Franklin. His birthday was on January 17th. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1706. After social studies we have science. We already learned about the life cycle of a mealworm. Right now we're learning about the water cycle. At the end of the day, Mrs. Stewart reads to us. We are reading "The Ghost of Fossil Glen". We look forward to finding out interesting facts about Hawaii. We're mailing our Massachusetts Flat Stanley to you today! Sincerely, Room 112 PS Check out our cool technology blog! http://heightstechnology.edublogs.org/category/assignments/grade-2/ms-stewart/
