This week is dance week in PE. Each class is learning their own dance to perform for each other on Thursday afternoon. All of the students are also learning the Chicken Dance and the Cha-Cha Slide for the whole school dance party at the end of the day.

Small groups are an important part of each day. Students are able to get some one-on-one instruction to help them hone their skills.

First and second-grade students have been researching mammals during their Library/Media class. They have been working very hard and are excited about the information they have learned.

We just love educating our students about the environment around them. We had Monadnock Falconry visit Temple Elementary to show us some birds of prey. The knowledgeable Henry Walters brought a Kestrel, Red-Tailed Hawk, and Harris's Hawk, and was very captivating as he shared his information about these fascinating birds. Our fourth-grade students, and one Kindergartener, had the wonderful experience of holding the Harris's Hawk. We are so thankful to have local experts willing to share their knowledge.

What a fabulous afternoon we had learning about some wonderful animals that you won't necessarily find in New Hampshire. We had an alligator, a Burmese python, a tarantula, a parrot, an African bullfrog, and a coatimundi. The students learned a lot about each animal: African bullfrog babies are protected by the male; parrot poop is important for helping to plant new trees from the seeds that are in it; tarantulas are a better source of protein than chicken. Colby, from Wildlife Encounters, was very entertaining and knowledgeable. We always love having Wildlife Encounters visit TES.
