Week #23 February 11-15, 2019
We had a wonderful start to our day on Valentine's Day! The students were very sweet as they politely and excitedly exchanged valentines before enjoying breakfast together. Thank you to all families who contributed items and thank you to our chefs: Mrs. Pels, Mr. Goudey, Mrs. Trombley, Mrs. Olesky and Mrs. Januszczyk. I really appreciate all the efforts to help it run so smoothly! The students had no idea we blew a fuse! They happily and quietly ate and also enjoyed valentine puzzles & coloring together. The rest of our day was just as lovely too.
We had a Farm-to-School lesson with Miss Meg this week that culminated in us enjoying some sweetened (with Nurse Cannon's maple syrup) mint tea. The focus was on spearmint and peppermint herbs. We learned about herbal infusion versus decoction. Miss Meg also led us through a relaxation exercise while the tea steeped.
- MONDAY: Whole-school celebration of "SPORTS DAY" and painting for the start of our final states project
- WEDNESDAY: Field trip to UVM women's basketball game. Every student will need a bag lunch. Wear green & gold!
Other things to ask your child about this week:
- writing opinion letters
- beginning our state research
- estimating and measuring
- a lesson on empathy with Mrs. Wheeler
Thank you for all you do!
Mrs. Hock
