EEK CELEBRATES EARTH DAY
The Extended Enrichment Kindergarten Program celebrated Earth Day throughout the week of April 22, 2013. For about a month the students brought in about 1000 recyclable items. Some items included plastic bottles, cardboard, and paper rolls. On Earth Day, the students practiced the math skills of sorting, counting, and tallying recyclable items. They have and will make crafts using recyclable items; such as shakers, animals, rockets, lady bugs, trees, worms, and a science fair project.

The Science fair project was a coastline in a water bottle where students had the opportunity to observe how seashells and sand constantly change because of waves. The students continued to work on writing and reading skills through books, songs, games, and pledges as they continued to learn about ways to keep the Earth clean.

Dear Holman Families,
The flowers are blooming, and the warm weather is finally in the air around the Jersey Shore. In typical fashion, the end of the year is shaping to be very busy. As the warmer weather becomes more of a constant, students are reminded that the summer vacation is seemingly just around the corner. With that said, however, it is important that they continue to work hard and take their studies seriously.
5th Grade Spring Concert: Our fifth grade students took the stage last week at Jackson Liberty High School and did a magnificent job. Thank you Ms. Giammarino and 5th grade students. The performance was wonderful and everyone had a great time. The sports theme was fun and engaging for the singers and audience alike. Congratulations to all who participated in the concert and to Ms. Giammarino for another outstanding show!
Fifth Grade Parents: I would like to invite our 5th Grade Parents to attend Coffee with the Principals on May 23rd at 10:00 a.m. Mr. Rotante, Principal of McAuliffe Middle School, will be here to meet our fifth grade parents and provide us with valuable insight regarding transitioning successfully to middle school.

NO ONE will be admitted to the ceremony without a ticket. For safety concerns, we will not be able to accommodate younger or older siblings. Thank you for your cooperation.
