Nancy Cadley and her 2nd graders, “The Smart City Kids” of Chester Elementary School (CES), recently joined their cohorts at their buddy school Macdonough School in Middletown. It was their first field trip this year to Macdonough School. The focal point was literature and titled “City Mouse, Country Mouse.” The students spent time with singer and songwriter Les Julian, and students wrote the last verse of a song about family and recorded it as they sang together. Once back to the classroom, they worked together and made creative creatures with movable parts. Each small group presented their critter as they told an adventure story about their creation. The students’ critters are displayed on a wall in their classroom.
