The Kindergarten students at both UME and NMC visited the Berkshire Botanical Gardens in Stockbridge. We learned some nature vocabulary words - "evergreen," "deciduous," and "topiary." We also learned about pollination and went on a seed scavenger hunt through the woods!

Marjorie Borreda from Le Petit Ranch in Sheffield came to visit and taught the Kindergarten classes at UME about Dog Bite Prevention. We learned safe ways to introduce yourself to new dogs and how to pet them. We had so much fun and learned a lot!




Honoring those who served! 🇺🇸
Today at our Middle School, we held a a Veterans Day Assembly.
We were incredibly honored to host several of our community's veterans who shared powerful first-hand accounts of their service to our nation. Hearing their stories firsthand brought history to life for our students in a profound way.

The NMC PreK class spent the week studying owls as part of their fall animal unit. They explored the topic using both fiction and nonfiction, heavily focusing on the book "Owl Babies," which they acted out with puppets while analyzing the characters, setting, problem, solution, and feelings. The children also learned about the owl life cycle and how owls prepare for winter. A highlight was using a special owl mask to understand that owls can't see peripherally, explaining their remarkable head rotation. Finally, they made their own owl masks to take home and built three-dimensional owls using playdough, feathers, googly eyes, and pipe cleaners.

The high school French classes prepared a spectacular event for National French Week! They put together a special French Dance Workshop for their peers. It was a chance to step into the world of French culture and learn some iconic moves, including Le Can Can, Les Positions de Ballet, and La Gavotte. Many students came to join us, got moving, and immersed themselves in the fun and history of French dance. It was a unique opportunity to celebrate!

Our NMC PreK class just wrapped up an exciting Apple Unit filled with multisensory learning!
We kicked off the unit with a class-wide taste test, sampling three different colors and varieties of apples. Afterward, the children colored small paper apples to create a class bar graph, which visually represented which apple color was the most and least popular. We also channeled our creativity into a bulletin board display, where children created their favorite color apple out of paper.
For our culinary adventure, we put on our chef hats for some baking. The kids loved helping to prepare apple calzones, assisting with cutting the slices, spreading the dough, and sprinkling on cinnamon and sugar. Delicious!
The unit also included an in-depth apple investigation. Each child selected their own apple from the bag, drew it, identified its color, and measured its height using connecting cubes. The highlight was cutting the apple open to count the seeds inside—and, of course, they got to taste this investigative apple, too!
Even our learning centers were apple-themed. Activities included rolling playdough into "apples" for counting games, using tweezers to sort pom-pom apples by color (great for fine motor skills!), and creating apple dots with dobbers and Q-tips. We truly had an absolutely apple-licious time learning about apples!

The AP Spanish Class and Spanish IV students visited the Clark Art Institute today. They received a tour conducted entirely in Spanish by an excellent docent, focusing on “La vida y Arte en España” (Life and Art in Spain). The students learned about works by artists such as Goya, Mary Cassatt, Murillo, and Degas. It was a successful day of immersion, combining language practice with cultural learning.
