WILLIAM H. ROWE SCHOOL

We welcomed spring at our March Community Meeting hosted by Ms. Lee’s, Ms. Berry’s and Mrs. Uraneck’s first grade classes. We sang songs, learned greetings in ASL and enjoyed a ukulele performance!

Maine children’s author Chris Van Dusen visited the Rowe School this week. Thank you Yarmouth PTO for providing this amazing enrichment experience for our students! #rowelearns #maineauthor #yarmouthpto

Kindergarten writers are working on “How To” books. They choose a topic they have a lot of knowledge about to teach their readers. #rowelearns #informationalwriting

First graders share their writing and provide their partner with a compliment. #rowelearns #writers workshop

Rowe School first grader Isla Carter's artwork was chosen to be displayed at the Portland Museum of Art for Youth Art Month, a national celebration sponsored by Council for Art Education. Her work was chosen by Rowe art teacher Emily Landry and is entitled Magic Peacock, collage with ripped paper oil pastel pattern and watercolor wash. Congratulations to Isla!

Fresh snow matters at the Rowe School! Hopefully we won’t lose it too quickly. #rowelearns #winterfun
