May 26, 2015

Good Morning,
  I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy the beautiful weekend.  Most of our weekend was centered around running.  Abby participated in the Yam Scram on Saturday (part of the VCM weekend).  On Sunday, Julianne, Angela, and I all ran different legs of the marathon.  Julianne was on a team of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.  Needless to say, they finished well ahead of our team.  All in all it was a great weekend.

Announcements:

*Our friends from Mr. Ibson's class will be visiting us on June 4th.  We will spend part of the morning sharing our narrative books and allow the high schoolers to see the finished product.

*We will head to Waterbury on June 11th.  This is our pen-pal field trip.  We will eat snack at school (before we leave) and then head to Thatcher Brook to pick up our friends.  We will then head to Stowe Pinnacle and hike up to the meadow.  There we will eat lunch and enjoy our time with our pen pals.  On our way home, we will stop at Ben and Jerry's for some ice cream.

The chaperones on the trip are Leslie Badger, Sheila Fiaschetti, and Natascha Brandenberg.  If anyone else would like to join us, please let me know.I will ask that the chaperones drive themselves/carpool because we will fill the bus with the students and teachers.  We will be leaving school by 8:15.

*Presentation Night:  Our class will be having a presentation evening on Thursday, June 11th.  It will start at 6:30 and be done by 7:30.  I figured the 6:30 time would allow people to grab dinner before coming back to school.  We will start promptly at 6:30.  The students will share their published notebooks and their social studies projects.  The evening will warp up with a quick class reflection piece.

I hope you all have a great week.

Peace,
Tommy
