BMS Senior Returns to Third Grade

Bryn Mawr senior and lifer Alex Saiontz has joined the third grade.  During the last three weeks of the school year, Bryn Mawr seniors complete a Senior Project, in which they explore the working world, playing an active role in their community.  Some students work for community and public service organizations, and some complete independent projects.  Many, like Alex, work in professional environments.  Alex chose to return to the Lower School where she began her Bryn Mawr journey.  She has read books to the girls, helped them edit their papers and explore math problems.  She even taught Gym Drill dances during recess.  The girls also loved talking to Alex about their futures in the Upper School.  We all wish her well in college.

Stone Fox Projects

For the girls' final book report, they read Stone Fox, by John Reynolds Gardiner.  Each project was individually chosen from a variety of extended activities.  Thank you parents for all your support!

 

Maypole Sneak Preview

 

The girls are anxiously waiting to perform at the Baltimore FlowerMart on Friday, May 2.  On Saturday, they will open the Bryn Mawr Bazaar at 9:30 with singing and dancing around the maypole.    

Science: Spring is Here! Bring on the Plants!

The 3rd grade girls are in the middle of their plant unit. They have learned the parts of a seed, the parts of a plant and the parts of a flower. They have planted lettuce, radish, spinach and snowpea seeds and are eagerly watching them grow. They have done experiments with seeds. After discussing the growing conditions for the small garden and planter boxes by the Science Center entrance, they chose plants they felt would adapt well there. Our gardeners are busily beautifying this area! We are hoping to be able to taste-test our vegetables later in the spring.
