October 18, 2013

Good Morning.

  Today we talked about our pen pals that we will write to this year.  Our pen pals ore 1st and 2nd graders from Waterbury.  The idea will be that we write back and forth a few times during the year and then meet up in the spring.  I am hoping to to a Skype session with our pen pals too.

  On Tuesday of next week, we will be walking to the Waitsfield Library at 10:30.  This trip will serve two purposes.  First I want the students to obtain a library card, if they don't have one.  I want the children to see what a valuable resource the library is.  Secondly, I have asked Joy (the librarian) to speak to our class on how she makes a difference for the town of Waitsfield.  As a reminder, this is part of our Social Studies curriculum this year.  If your child has a library card already, would you please let me know.

  There will be a film crew in my classroom on Thursday, October 24th.  The crew will come during lunch and film my math class.  This is one of five recordings that will happen this year.

Notes:
*Please send in the $3 for the Flynn trip.

*Your child has his/her Weekly News Journal in his/her backpack.  Please sign it and send it in on Monday.

*First Grade Math:  Remember you will play the game (you received this week) all of next week and receive a game survey on Monday, October 28th.

Hare is this weeks video.

Have a wonderful weekend.
Peace,
Tommy
