Good Morning,

  I hope you are all having a fabulous week.  I need you to please read through the following information regarding next week's field trip.  We will be headed to TBPS on Wednesday, February 22nd.  We will be going to meet our pen pals, to eat lunch, and then xc ski with them.  Our drivers will be Will Rounds, Jennifer Whittingham, and Chris Badger.  We will be leaving our school around 10:30 and arriving back before dismissal.  IMPORTANT:  If your son/daughter will need a school lunch provided, please fill out the form that is in your child's homework bag.  I need this returned on Monday in order to turn it in Fayston on time.  If your child can bring their own lunch if they desire.  TBPS school has enough equipment for everyone.  However, if your child wants to bring their own, I need it brought to school and please have it labeled.

  This week we started to move away from our focus on procedural writings and have turned our attention to writing books that inform.  We have spent some time looking at published non-fiction books and the similar components that each piece has.  Each child will be creating their own non-fiction piece that focuses on some of the Vermont State Symbols.  This allows me to tie in Social Studies with our writing curriculum.

 I hope you all have a great weekend.

Peace,
Tommy
