October 27, 2010

 Sad to say, indoor recess today!  Mrs. Dillon hiked the trail of our planed Friday hike.  Unfortunately it is very wet and muddy.  The brooks that we would have to cross are unsafe to pass with the group.  So, we will drive up to Mrs. Dillon's house and hike to the Wu Cliffs.  Mrs. Dillon will be joining us and lead us on the trek.  Please remember to pack a water bottle for your child.  Some of the chaperones are making a snack for the class, so you will not need to pack one for your child.

 Today we met Jeremy Gulley and talked about composting.  Jeremy talked to the class about the benefits to composting, how to do it, and then we started working on the composting bins in our school garden.  These bins will be our responsibility for the remainder of the school year.

  This afternoon the children had to use different dimensions of card stock to create three dimensional rectangles.  We also learned more about the state of Maine and some of its symbols.  If you have any pictures or items from the Maine coast, please send them in.

 I hope you have a wonderful day.
Peace,
Tom
