We wish we could change the weather pattern that we are all experiencing, but unfortunately we can't! Everyday that it is not raining, we are going out for recess. Obviously, the playground is very wet, and often muddy. Please make sure your child has a pair of shoes to wear outside, and a dry pair to wear inside. Also, we are very concerned about students wearing flip flops out for recess. That practice is just begging for an injury. Please make sure your child has closed toed, appropriate shoes for both recess and PE classes.
Today, your child is bringing home a very important permission slip for our East Montpelier Tour, which will take place next Wednesday, June 14th. Please read the whole page carefully and make sure to check off the appropriate sections, sign and date, cut off the bottom portion and return to school. Also, if you have contacted us and let us know that you can drive, we are counting on you! We have just exactly the right amount of student seats available. We do have a bit more room for adults in the front seats of cars if you'd like to join us and have Level I forms in the office! We're excited for this trip and know it will be a great learning experience for our students.
Finally, today we watched the movie, Because of Winn Dixie. Students worked hard to fill five chip buckets to see the film. The movie was a wonderful connection to one of our anchor texts from our reading character studies unit. Please ask your child to tell you about the film, and the comparisons we discussed in class. It is book a great book and movie. If you'd like to watch it as a family, it is easily available on Amazon video.
