Students visit with nursing home residents

Second Graders Visit Nursing Homes - 2018

BTMES second grade students visited nursing homes in February and March. They traveled to Woodridge, Berlin Health and Rehab, Lincoln House, Mayo Residential Care in Northfield, and the Barre Senior Center. The students entertained the residents and staff by performing several traditional dances. The show was topped off with the giving of Valentines and nice conversations with the residents that live there. A very special time for all!

Kindergarten Dance Show

Kindergarten Dancers were very proud to show family and friends what they have been working on in Physical Education class during the dance unit. Children have been learning left to right, working together, learning specific terms (like promenade), taking turns being leaders, moving to a rhythm, and having fun while dancing socially with friends! Thanks for supporting quality physical education.
