Meet Mrs. Lewis....

     I love teaching fourth grade!  I have been teaching for twelve years.  I graduated from Rivier College in 2002 with a dual degree in Elementary and Special Education.  I also have my Master’s Degree in Elementary Education.  I have been teaching at Farley School for 12 years.  I started out teaching in a special education classroom and then moved into fourth grade. 
     I live in Townsend with my husband, two boys Kyle and Caden, and my black lab, Soxie.   You will  hear lots of stories about Kyle and Caden who certainly keep me busy and always make me laugh.  
     I also enjoy running and spending time with my family and friends.  I love to be outside and being active.  I like to go hiking with my family and play with my kids.  If you walk into our classroom you might notice that I also love Boston sports!  

     Let’s have a great year!

State Fair Movie Trailers

     As I mentioned at the state fair this morning, some of the kids were able to create an iMovie for their state if they finished their research early.  I am attaching the link for the iMovies.  Enjoy!

Amazing State Fair Day!

     I am so proud of how well the kids did today at Success Day....their State Fair!  Each student put a lot of hard work and effort into their projects.  They did a great deal of research about the state that they were most interested in.  They really have a good understanding of their state.
     We hope you were able to see (and hear) all of the great learning that went into this fair.  I have attached some pictures from the state fair.  Enjoy!

Field Trip Permission Slip Reminder!

End of Year

Walk Across the US
Wednesday, June 10th

 

          As part of the fourth grade math/social studies curriculum, we will be visiting the Hudson Public Library and Wood Park in downtown Hudson to have a bagged lunch. We will be walking to the library to have students sign-up for the Summer Reading Program, getting a library card if they need it and possibly selecting a book to begin their Summer Reading.

         

Shark Tank Update

     It came to my attention this morning that you might not be able to access the Shark Tank commercials with the link from my previous post.  I have attached a new link that should work!  Enjoy!

Shark Tank Stars!

     As I have mentioned in past blog posts, the kids had a TON of fun creating commercials for their own product.  They were able to use what they learned about commercials and persuasion to create commercials for their UNIQUE products.  Hud-Tv came in and taped our commercials and added some special effects. 

     We had a special showing of our commercials last week on Shark Tank!!!  Mrs. MacDonald and Ms. Mann came into our class as the "sharks" looking to buy a new product.  We were able to watch each commercial and then the inventors were asked questions by the Sharks.  The kids did an awesome job under pressure answering questions about their product. 

     Since the kids worked so hard on these commercials, I feel as though you shouldn't miss out on these awesome pieces of work. 

     I have attached a link.  All of the commercials are on one link.  Mrs. Leger's class created commercials as well so their class is on the video as well.

     You won't want to miss this!  Enjoy!
