Good Afternoon,
This morning the class had math and spelling. After spelling time, we went for our "Power Walk." This is where we walk for 7 and 1/2 minutes on the sidewalk through town. Each time we try to make it a little further than the previous time. After we return we go right into writing. I have found that this walk has made for a more productive writing time. This afternoon the kids worked on their non fiction writings and had a literacy/reading group block.
As you know, I am on the Vermont Standards Board for Professional Educators. Our work encompasses a variety of tasks. One of the obligations is to be part of a program approval team for college programs. This Wednesday and Thursday, I will be away from school as I visit Champlain College and help evaluate their education program.
NOTES:
*We are still collecting plastic bottle caps.
*Please make sure your child is still bringing boots for recess time.
That is all for now. Have a great week,
Tommy
