Attention Families: Please donate any extra boxes you have to the Wethersfield Elementary school office for our librarian, Mrs. Anderson, to store books in over the summer as the library undergoes remodeling.

Freshman English has spent the last six weeks working on a writing unit in which they pick four topics and utilize different writing styles and techniques to create a book. They used their resources to research and locate a variety of writing styles that aligned with their chosen topics. Everything they’ve chosen for their project is uniquely them. This would make a great display for a graduation table for their senior year.

Fourth graders wrapped up their weather unit this week. They researched and watched weather forecasts. Then, in a group or with a partner, they gave a mock weather forecast!
