Lego Robotics and Upcoming Events!

Technology classes have been very exciting the past few weeks!  Students have been working in teams to create Lego robots!  These robots have then been put to the test in regard to the amount of weight they can pull.  Students have been working on testing different wheels and surfaces.  Student engineers have made predictions, collected data, analyzed results, modified models, retested and reflected in learning logs.  Ms. Arlyn's enthusiasm and expertise with Lego technology is an incredible asset to EMES!  Next week, students will do a final design and test their robots against each other in a robotic tug-of-war.  Please ask your child to tell you about our Lego Robotics classes!

East Montpelier Unit

Next week, we'll launch an important social studies/literacy unit of study about East Montpelier.  The unit is titled:  East Montpelier~Past, Present, Future.  During the next few weeks we'll have guest speakers in to teach us about the history of East Montpelier, it's present day status and hopes and dreams for the future.  This is a really fun unit as students learn more and more about what makes their town so special.  

In the past, we've done a fun field trip at the end, which is a tour around town to visit some of the historic, as well as current landmark sites.  We're thinking we'd like to do this again, most likely during the week of June 12th.  Before undertaking the massive planning that this trip requires, we need to know that we'll have parent drivers and chaperones.  In order to DRIVE on this trip, you need a Level II clearance with the EMES office.  In order to CHAPERONE you need a Level I clearance. IF you submit your paper work immediately (next week at the latest) you should still be able to get  through the process.  (Jane in the office is your go to gal!) Please let us know ASAP if you will be able to drive for this trip!  We can't make plans if we don't have enough drivers and chaperones. Thanks!
