Mayor Kennedy spent sometime this morning at Lynn Woods School. Mrs.
Whalen’s third grade class at Lynn Woods Elementary School has been researching
information about invasive plants and their effects on the environment. Through
their research they have discovered that there are invasive plants near the
entrances of Lynn Woods. After taking a field trip to meet with Ranger Dan
Small to learn more about invasive plan in Lynn Woods, they learned that
many of these invasive plants have entered Lynn Woods due to dumping of yard
waste. They are encouraging all citizens of Lynn not to dump yard waste in Lynn
Woods. Yard waste may contain invasive plants that could threaten many plants
species in Lynn Woods. The students were eager to share their knowledge . Mayor Kennedy was very interested and receptive to their proposals. The visit was super special and the children really enjoyed it. Thank you for helping us.

Meteorologist
Mr. Staples 3rd grade class made some Science tools in class. They will be put to good use with the weather we have been having lately. Ask your 3rd grader what a barometer is and what is does. Do an experiment with the anemometer and measure the wind speed.

Skyping with Disney.....cool stuff!
On Friday, January 24th the third grade enjoyed a
Skype session with Dr. Anne Savage. Dr.
Anne, Conservations Director for Disney’s Animal Programs, taught the students
about Sea Turtles and Cotton Top Tamarins.
The students were able to ask Dr. Anne questions and gain knowledge about
these species and their habits.

Important Message from Mrs. Whalen: Idling
There is a Native
American Proverb that says, “We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we
borrow it from our children.” There are many things we can do to leave our
earth a better place for our children. One thing that we can easily do to help
our environment is to not idle our vehicle. Idling our vehicles releases
pollution into our atmosphere which can harm the environment and humans. All
schools in Lynn have a no idling zone of 100 feet around all schools. In order
to work together as a Lynn Woods community and do what we can to leave this
earth a better place for our children and help our environment, please refrain
from idling near our school. Through a project I did with my class a couple of
years ago we learned that we can make a difference in this area. Together our
Lynn Woods school community can make a difference and help make a change. Thank
you for your help.

Whalen

Friends of Lynn Woods
Mrs. Whalen’s Third Grade class has been studying about
invasive plants and the harm they do to our very own Lynn Woods. Did you know dumping lawn clippings into the
woods is harmful to the environment? Recently
Superintendent Dr. Latham visited Lynn Woods so they could make their
presentation. Last night they made their
presentation to the Friends of Lynn Woods.
Great job getting active in your community Grade 3!

Happy New Year!
It is difficult to say good bye to 2013. Every member of the Lynn Woods School Community has much to be proud of. Each day, I watch teachers and students put in enormous time, effort and energy into getting best results for students. 2013 was an exceptionally great year! Lynn Woods reached level I status, which was a monumental accomplishment. Then, DESE identified Lynn Woods as one of 48 commendation schools, which is an honor and privilege! Below I have included a link to the Boston Globe “Dreamschool finder”. This tool allows you to search for high achieving schools in your region. In the north region, Lynn Woods is ranked # 1. The City of Lynn should feel proud to have Lincoln Thompson and Sewell Anderson also included on this list. Keep up the great work in 2014!
