Weekly News for Oct. 13th

We will begin holding Parent-Teacher Conferences this week.  Please feel free to check-in with us if you do not remember your conference time.  We look forward to sharing your child's progress with you!  It was great seeing many of you at Open House!  Also thank you to all of you who participated in the school wide fund raising effort!  The money raised will help to offset the cost of several field trips we will be taking this year.

Speaking of field trips, we will be taking the class to Shelburne Museum on Oct. 27th.  This field trip will be an introduction to our upcoming unit on Life Long Ago.  The children will be comparing their lives to the life children lived long ago.  This will be an opportunity for your children to visit the one room school house and experience school back in time.  The children will have opportunities to play with toys from this time period as well as make candles and ice cream.  We will have lunch at the museum and then be free to tour the old general store and some of the houses and maybe have time for the Ticonderoga!  We are need of chaperons for this field trip.  If you are interested, please indicate on the permission slip that will be sent home later in the week.  We look forward to this wonderful opportunity!

We are also looking for volunteers who can volunteer some time to dig up a garden bed next to the tool shed in the garden.  We are participating in the Journey North Tulip Project and need to plant tulips.  We would greatly appreciate your help! Please contact us if you could help us out!  We can provide shovels if needed!  This project is collective effort to mark the arrival of spring across the world.  You can read more about this wonderful project by clicking on the Journey North link.

Reminders:  Please remember to send your child with sneakers on PE days!

Also now that cold weather will soon be arriving, please make sure your child's name is on all their winter clothing.  This helps a great deal when items turn up missing.

As always, please feel free to call or e-mail us with any questions you might have.  Have a great week ahead!
