HERE'S  WHAT'S  GOING  ON 
IN
BEACONS'  WORLD

      In Reading, both groups are working hard on their higher level thinking skills of writing chapter summaries. Synthesizing information is a challenging portion of our reading curriculum.
Below you will see your Beacon hard at work reading the chapter in small groups and then rereading and finding the answer to the critical thinking chapter questions.












As a part of Seabury's Service Club's winter activity, all Beacons made holiday cards for members of Toby Jones Senior Center. These handmade cards were beautiful and each Beacon made it with a lot of love.






               I'm a Beacon alumnus. Now my brother is a Beacon and next year  my sister will be too!
















We LOVE learning new math strategies by playing our Math Games! Here's a tough one that makes us really think hard. We work cooperatively in groups of twos and have to use our math skills to solve the problems.










                                                  Hey, I won! I love math! 


                                        Look at all my hard work! I love math!

                                                   Bailey the Wonderdog
visited our classroom on Wednesday and the Beacons loved how sweet and affectionate she was. Bailey loves to read and students spent their silent reading time reading with Bailey!





                                                       Hey Beacons.
                  I love that book! That's my favorite part!













I did such a good job reading to Bailey that I put her to sleep!
