Local author, Jill Austin, visited our North Scituate second graders in December to share her fantastic winter/Christmas books; "What Does Santa Want For Christmas?" and "Every Snowflake Wants To Be A Snowball".
Classrooms were encouraged to decorate their classroom doors at North Scituate Elementary with their grade-level partner. Two of the rules were that students must help and must have a holiday theme. Mrs. Soccio was the judge. She had such a hard decision that she selected 4 of her favorite doors- Kindergarten & 1st grade doors. Thank you to all of the classrooms that participated in this fun contest!
Last month, 1st graders at North Scituate Elementary spent time learning all about shared traits during a science lesson through hands-on matching activities and interactive read-alouds!
Congratulations to all of our North Scituate Elementary students who received positive office referrals for great behavior in December!
In December, The Scituate Police Department organized a successful Stuff a Cruiser Event with our elementary schools. Thank you to the Scituate Community for supporting this event which provides toys/games for our Adopt a Family program. It's wonderful to be part of a giving and supportive community!
Huge thank you to our North Scituate PTO and volunteers for making our annual Christmas in the Village event a success. Our school organizes a Bake Sale, Raffles, Duck Game, and crafts (reindeer food and snow) for children. It was great to see our families come to this event as well as former North Scituate Students who volunteered to run the craft stations. Team effort to make this event possible! This event raised over $1200 for our school.
Clayville, Hope, and North Scituate Elementary schools all enjoyed their school holiday chorus concerts before the winter break! It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces!
SHS Chorus visited North Scituate Elementary for High Five Friday before Winter Break. After high fives, the Chorus led students in grades 3-5 for a few Disney Sing-Alongs. Thank you for a fun-filled morning! Huge thank you to Sgt. Parenti, Ms. Norton, and First Student for making this possible.

North Scituate Elementary had two wonderful visitors recently! Ashton's Grandfather, Mr. Holmes, came in to give a presentation on fossils, animal adaptations, evolution of animals, and told different tales about fossils. He was also generous enough to hand-make an individual fossil kit that each fourth grader got to take home with fossils that he has sourced over the years and even found himself! Thank you, Mr. Holmes!
Melanie's mom, Mrs. Bernier, came in and read "Balloons over Broadway" to Ms. Cuttle's class which taught the students about the history behind the Macy's Day Parade. Students worked in groups to create an idea for their own Macy's Day float. After sketching their ideas they were given balloons, pipe cleaners, googly eyes, construction paper, pom poms, and popsicle sticks to make their float as a team! Thank you, Mrs. Bernier!
In STEAM, students in grade 5 at North Scituate Elementary constructed castles made of index cards with a partner. Impressive creations and great teamwork!
Students in Mrs. DiLuglio's class at North Scituate Elementary are coaching each other on addition, subtraction, and estimating to see if our answers make sense as they prepare for an upcoming assessment. Great teamwork and focus!
North Scituate's second-grade students visited Roger Williams Park Zoo and explored the Insect Program! They examined an insectivore (Leopard Gecko) and compared an insect (Madagascar Hissing Cockroach) with an arachnid (Pink Chilean Tarantula).Thanks, PTO!
Students in Mrs. Dupre's class at North Scituate Elementary have been working on building number sense with the use of rekenreks. The math counting frame helps students visualize addition and subtraction strategies, plus they are a great hands-on activity that the students always look forward to!
Kindergarten students at North Scituate Elementary learned about 2D shapes this month! Students were able to take turns sorting shapes based on their properties, curves or no curves (straight lines). Students used "turn and talk" to chat with a partner about their shape, and then returned to their seats for a cutting, gluing, and sorting shape activity!
