The N.E.S. Newt-paper Newbury Elementary School Newsletter
Dear NES Community, Can you believe there are twenty-seven
school days left? We have begun
our placement process for next year and will be working hard to
build balanced heterogeneous classes using a variety of factors to
meet the needs of the students academically, socially, and
emotionally. Your input is an important part of that process, and
we thank you for taking the time to give us your thoughtful
feed-back. Your child’s placement for the following year will be
listed on the June 22nd report cards.
Our Third and Fifth Graders took their Math MCAS tests Tuesday
and Wednesday of this week, and our Fourth and Sixth Graders will
have their Math MCAS tests on Monday the 16th and Tuesday the 17th.
The Fifth Grade has two additional tests in Science and
Technology/Engineering on the 18th and 19th, and then we will have
completed our MCAS testing for the year. The students have shown
impressive work ethic, diligence, and perseverance while completing
their MCAS tests, and I applaud the attention and effort students
are applying during these test sessions. Well done Newts!
We are excited for our many end-of-year activities and look
forward to celebrating the accomplishments of our students with
you!

5th Grade Science
This spring fifth grade science students have been learning
about the transfer of energy. Read our students’ suggestions for
ways to save all forms of energy. Our unit tied in nicely with the
NES Recycling Committee’s assembly! Our students practiced the
skill of writing thank you notes to the Institution for Savings
Bank, Hope 2o, and Yeoman’s Boat Shop. Congratulations to Sara
Stackpole for her Honorable Mention for her Blue Whales poem
submitted to the MA Science Poetry Contest! Way to go Sara! We are
also looking forward to our next camp Historic Newbury visit!
Thanks to PTA funding we were able to visit the Spencer- Pierce-
Little Farm to participate in their In Search of a Story Language
Arts/ So-cial Studies Program. Our students explored diaries, maps,
letters, portraits, rooms, and artifacts left by Offin Boardman.
Since our walk to SPLF, our students have continued their research
of early American history to find fantastic ideas for historical
fiction writ-ing.

6th Grade Science
Massachusetts Science Poetry Contest Congratulations to two of
our 6th graders for placing 2nd in the Massachusetts Science Poetry
Contest in the 6th grade category! Camelia Rogers and Carter
Shearer's poem "Have You Ever Heard of the Periodic Table?" was
entered into the "Best Cooperative Poem" category. Their poem was
also chosen as a Grand Prize winner, earning honorable mention,
from all of the 6th to 8th grade entries. Congratu-lations girls!
STEM Ambassador for the DIGITS Project to 6th Grade On May 9th, our
6th grade science students had the opportunity to participate in
the DIGITS pro-ject, a classroom program that encourages studying
math and science. The DIGITS program is provided free to schools in
partnership with the state Department of Elementary and Secondary
Education. The project enables students to meet and talk with
science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) professionals who
serve as role models for how these subjects are used in real world
careers. Mr. Scott Forrey, from Akamai (Cambridge), talked to the
students about many careers that need a strong science and math
background. He shared how he pursued his career and fascinated the
students with information about his company, which assists all
internet informa-tion in getting from one place to another
(including iTunes!). This is the second year that NES has enjoyed
the activities of the DIGITS project.
Massachusetts Regional Science En-gineering Fair Congratulations
to Harrison Speak and Jed Cutter for representing the Triton Region
School District at the Massachusetts Regional Middle School Science
Engineering Fair at UMass Lowell on Saturday, April 30, 2011. There
were over 180 great projects from many differ-ent school systems.
Jed was selected to take his project to the STATE level in
June.

Have you ever Heard of the Periodic Table? By: Camelia Rogers
and Carter Shearer
Have you ever heard of the periodic table?
It is a big chart with numbers and labels You may think “it’s
just a chart with lots of fragments”
But it’s not; it’s a chart with 117 elements
These elements make up everything around you Everything in the
universe is made up of at least two
Their names go from metal like gallium To funny ones like
thallium
They go from something that burns easy like hydrogen
To something we breathe like oxygen Stainless steal things are
20% chromium
Or even things to maintain hot tub water like sodium
On a hot summer day you swim in chlorine If you want a perfect
smile, drink some fluorine
There is also a gas just like xenon It makes a light glow, its
name is neon
In a hospital there are x-rays made from lead
They can x-ray everything even your head Inside a battery, there
is nickel
Be careful, do not zap yourself! It might tickle
Everybody wants gold But no one is willing to stand out in the
cold
There’s a very soft metal named copper So do not drop it in a
blending chopper!
You could try to cut open a penny to see its zinc core
But it would be a big chore A can is made up of tin
But make sure you put it in the recycling bin
Helium is a gas that makes your voice sound funny But it doesn’t
work on a bunny
When you put iodine on a cut, it may hurt But it cleans out all
of the dirt
You know each substance is made up of elements, at least two
Did you learn anything new? Now take what we have taught you
And show the world what you can do

Technology
Many of our grade levels are engaged in using technology to help
us get ready for the giant traveling map of Asia from National
Geographic which is being delivered to the school on May 31st, the
day after Memorial Day (courtesy of our fabulous PTA). It will be
the size of the small gym. With-out shoes, you and your children
will be able to walk the length of the Yel-low River or travel from
Siberia to Malaysia and enjoy some sights on the way. To help set
the stage and add some mood to this:
The 6th graders are working on Power Point slide shows about the
sights, sounds and cultures of Asia. The 5th graders are using
Power Point as a tool to gather information about specific
countries of Asia while researching to find terrain, population,
resources, natural and manufactured. They will be used to mark each
country on the giant map, as people travel. 4th graders are
learning to use Microsoft Publisher. They are learning how to save
and insert pic-tures into files and to make brochures about the
culture of modern day Japan. 3rd graders are continuing their work
in the Type to Learn program and were given instructions last week
on how to download the same program at home. They will have use of
this teaching program until they leave the school in 6th grade.
Please use to practice as much as possible at home. 2nd graders are
having great fun researching the animals of Asia and learning how
to put the draw-ings and information into a young version of a
Power Point slide show. They will be shown as we celebrate the Asia
map. 1st graders are learning about money using an interactive 100s
chart online. The children will paint colors on the chart to count
different denominations of money. This enables them to count by 5s,
10s and ones while seeing their totals. If you would like to use
this at home, go to my website and go to math page one in the
middle column called splat squares. http://eraycroft.homestead.com/
Kindergarten- We used Kidspiration in order to sort things by
different attributes. We looked for pictures that had certain
attributes like noisier than a bee, taller than a giraffe, etc.
Many thanks for all the parents who come to help in the lab. Look
for information on the giant travelling map of Asia on the school
website. Hope to see you there.

6th grade Math
In culmination of our Statistics unit of study, several students
completed a survey analysis project. Maggie Gilbert and Jack
McCraven’s project determined that sports will be the most popular
middle school extracurricular activity at Triton Middle School next
year, and Gwen Glickman’s project de-termined that this year’s
sixth grade dance color scheme should be blue and white. These
projects included graphs, tables, and a full statistical analysis
of the data collected. Meanwhile, our probability unit is underway.
Students are predicting and testing the likelihood of various
events as they rotate through six probability learning centers.
Centers involve dice, cards, spinners, and coins. Ask your sixth
grader if certain sums are more likely to come up than others when
rolling two dice. I’d like to thank several parent volunteers for
leading some enrichment groups during math flex blocks: Jack
Rybicki, Chery Freeman, Michelle Papanicolaou, Deb Cooper, and Kit
Lawson have helped with ge-ometry and probability activities
involving popcorn-cylinders, quilting patterns, chocolate chip
cookie data, and Skittle candy colors. If other parents are
interested in volunteering, please email me at
[email protected].

Music
In the music department we have been very busy preparing for our
spring concert which will be on Tuesday, June 7th at 7:00. We can’t
wait for everyone to hear our beautiful music! Also, beginner
trumpet, flute and clarinet players are doing a great job
practicing and moving right along collecting their colored
achievement belts. After all belts are earned the children will
re-ceive their white badge. Grade 6 – We have learned an Italian
dance, studied the composer John Williams, had fun with a Japanese
hand clapping game, learned a German dance and played a Jamaican
song on Orff in-struments. We also spent a day drumming! Grade 5 –
We had fun with a Caribbean hand clapping game, studied the
composer Handel, sang and played St. Patrick’s Day songs, and
learned a Morris stick dance from England. The children also
learned some historical songs from colonial times to integrate with
the 5th grade curriculum. Grade 4 – The children learned a Jack
Prelutsky poem “The Jelly Bean Brigade”. This poem was put to
music, and we sang, played Orff instruments, played drums, marched
along and used col-ored scarves to highlight the jelly bean colors.
We also spent some time on St. Patrick’s Day songs and dances.
Presently, the boys and girls are singing individually while I
assess their voices to prepare
for chorus and choir next year. Grade 3 – We are moving right
along with our recorders. Most children have received their blue
belts and can now easily play “America”. We are now working on The
Mexican Hat Dance for our brown belt. Keep up the good work and
continue to prac-tice! Grades K, 1 and 2 – We continue to use
Beanie Babies for tone drills, singing a variety of songs, and have
done movement and
listening games. We have also done a bit more playing on the
Orff instruments and have learned some folk dances in the first and
second grades.
• Students recently completed writing letters to local
restaurants. Students had to include a letter, descriptive scene,
and an advertisement. We are keeping track of which restaurants
respond to students.
• We are currently in the final draft mode of writing persuasive
essays. Stu-dents had to select a topic of choice and write a
persuasive essay.
• In addition, we are in the beginning phases preparing for
Poetry Night. Stu-dents are working on writing a variety of poems
to present on stage on June 2nd.
• Lastly, students have started a new round of book groups.
Titles of the books are The Book of Three, The Remarkable Journey
of Prince Jenn, Countdown, The House of the Scorpion, Wringer, and
Whirligig.

Art
By: Mrs. Merluzzi We had a fantastic celebration of Visual Arts
on April 14th with many children and their fami-lies attending the
All School Art Exhibit. We enjoyed the large reproductions of Henri
Rousseau that were displayed during that week. Children in grade 3
are imagining and drawing jungles that were inspired by Rousseau’s
work. During the next few weeks children should be bringing art
home as I slowly take the show down. That doesn’t mean we are
through creating though. On the contrary, we are still quite busy.
Here is a list of projects we will be working on as the school year
winds down: Grade 6: Monster Mania! The critters have been built
and now we will decorate them and give them personality. Grade 5:
These kids blew up a Rousseau! That is to say they enlarged it. The
work is now displayed outside of the art room. Next, they will be
creat-ing Dragons. Grade 4: Scratch Art Greek Pottery is in the
works. Grade 3: While learning drawing concepts such as fore
ground, middle ground and back ground, kids are drawing jungles.
Grade 2: Students are cutting and gluing silhouettes to a painted
sunset. Next, they will create Ori-ental Lanterns. Grade 1:
Beautiful Mother’s Day flowers just went home and next up will be
origami Samurai Hel-mets. Kindergarten: We are gluing tissue paper
to a painted branch to make Forsythia. Next up is sym-metrical
butterflies. I have completely wiped out my supply of egg
cartons…the paper kind. Donations would be appreciated. I also can
use the large sized yogurt containers. If any of you are into
construction or wood working, donations of small wood scraps will
come in handy for a project I am planning for the fall.
Physical Education
All grades have finished a small unit in volleyball skills.
Older children spent time in covering bump, set, serve, and basic
game play. Younger children used volleyball equipment in basic fun
movement activities. Grades K-2 have begun a manipulative unit of
short jump rope and will progress into long ropes and short rope
challenges. Older children have now entered the time of year when
we do our final fit-ness assessments- pushups, crunches and the
mile jog/walk. Critieria is pulled from the Fitnessgram program, a
nationally implemented assessment tool.

5th grade SS and ELA
“The shot heard round the world” was the big focus for the past
few weeks for fifth grade social studies. After looking at the
causes of the Revolution-ary War, we moved into the first battles
of the war. We looked at Lexing-ton and Concord and the Battle of
Bunker Hill, where we found that the British lost more men but
still won the battle. We saw the publication of Common Sense and
the treasonous act of the signing of the Declaration of
Independence. The Yankees are fighting the Redcoats as we study the
crossing of the Delaware and the victories at Trenton and Saratoga.
We’ll soon see the resurgence of Britain’s old adversaries as
allies of the Continental Army. Stay tuned for future developments
in the Revolutionary War. The fifth graders are all trying their
hand at writing non-fiction in language as a follow-up to our field
trip to Spencer Pierce Little Farm. The story line was derived from
their time at the farm, with additions to their story being added
as they follow the social studies curriculum. This exploration of
historical fiction will be wrapped up as we get into our next
novel, The Fighting Ground by Avi which follows a 13 year old boy
who runs away to enlist in the Continental Army. The DRA testing
for reading rounds out the month of May.
In math the fifth graders recently finished a unit called “How
many People? How Many Teams?” It focused on the meaning of
opera-tions with whole numbers, the development of computational
fluency, and the structure of place value. MCAS for math was also
taken this past week for grade 5. Our next unit of study in math is
called “Growth Patterns”. This unit will develop ideas about
patterns, sequences, and functions. It is part of the early algebra
founda-tion integrated into the Investigations curriculum.
