Reflections from Katie
As is so often true in the cycle of a school year, March felt like it lasted forever, but now that it’s April, it’s hard to believe how fast the year is flying by. I wanted to share with you a few changes afoot for next year. Hear more from Katie >>
Who Are the People
in Your Neighborhood?
Meet Special Start Assistant Teacher Colleen Cadger!
How long have you been at Cambridgeport?
I have been here for 5 years. I was at the Tobin School before that.
What is something about you that not everyone knows?
I am a grandmother to my 5-year-old Granddaughter, Izzy Blue!
What is your dream job?
I would love to be a head teacher because I love the challenge of working with kids who need me.
If you could be an animal what would you be?
I would be a horse. They are strong, free and beautiful.
What Learning Looks Like
The Kindergarten team is working on a construction unit. Kiarra has created space and supplies for young builders to let their imaginations soar.
Autism Awareness Week & Day
Last week was Autism Awareness Week & Day. Katie and the principals from KO and FMA gathered together at City Hall last Thursday, March 30th to watch it light up BLUE!
Guest Artist
Artist Bobby Brown came in to speak with parents during Liz the librarian’s weekly Coffee & Conversation. He talked about the inspiration for his painting and sculpture. We were excited to learn he is donating some of his work to our upcoming Spring Fling’s silent auction.
