TSA Canines Visit AM Chaffee School
Mr. Richard Andrade, Supervisory Inspector for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) visited Chaffee School with several TSA canines and their handlers. The visit connected with our study of community helpers. The children learned that both people and animals can be community helpers working to keep us safe at home and when we travel. They also learned about how the TSA canines are trained, their specialized sense of smell, and how they differ from our pets at home. We thank the TSA inspectors for their visit and all that they do to keep us safe as we travel.
Teacher of the Year
The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) is now accepting nominations for the 2012-2013 Teacher of the Year. Please consider nominating a deserving teacher. Information on the Teacher of the Year program and the nomination process can be found by clicking here.
Recess and the Weather
The colder weather has quickly jumped upon us. We will continue to have recess outdoors for as long as we can. If the back yard (black top or playground) is safe and it is above freezing, we will go outside for recess. Please make sure that your children are dressed for outdoor play. Thank you.
We begin this school year with a new writing program: The John Collins Writing Program. All of the teachers in the district have been trained in its implementation.
This video provides a brief overview of the John Collins Writing Program.
We have added a link to the left side of our web page: "Notices 2011-2012." We will work to post a copy of important notices sent home by the school and/or the PTO. We will not post individual classroom notices or community notices this year. If you are missing a notice or wondering what went home, just click on the link.
