I hope you all had a great weekend. I certainly enjoyed the cooler and sunny days. Today we created our class rules. The students came up with 27 different rules that they needed. A few students suggested that we group them by categories so that there weren't so many. We have narrowed it down to 4 of them. We will review them tomorrow and I will post the final product in Friday's post.
The blue forms on families, traditions and celebrations is due tomorrow. I have only received forms from Adele, Riley, Kai, Ben, Donovan, Libby, and Noah. I appreciate the effort in getting the rest in by tomorrow.
I AM REPOSTING THE BELOW INFORMATION. PLEASE< PLEASE TAKE NOTE:
*HOMEWORK BAGS: Please, please make sure the bag and book inside are returned on a daily basis. This is a great time of year to establish a routine, at home, where your child places it in their backpack each evening.
*Book Orders: Book orders are due by next Friday. Please make sure to make your selections this week. Let me know if you need any help with this.
*All School Hike: We are scheduled to go on an all school hike, up at Sugarbush, on Friday of next week. Please make sure your child has appropriate footwear, clothing, and sunscreen, if needed.
*Field Trip: As part of our study of traditions and celebrations, I want to explore a Vermont tradition in the fall, winter, and spring. The fall focus will be on apple picking. We will be taking a trip tp Adam's Apple Orchard (Facebook Page click here) on Thursday, September 20th. Mrs. Boyden's 1st and 2nd grade (Fayston) class will be joining us too. We will be leaving around 8:30 a.m. and returning around 12:45. We will eat a picnic lunch at the orchard. Please pack your child a lunch or let me know if your child needs a cold lunch provided by the school's lunch program. You can email me to let me know if this is needed. Please do so by Friday of next week. If you would like to chaperone on the trip, please let me know by next Friday as well.
While at Adam's Orchard, the kids will take a wagon ride, learn about the cider making process and receive a sample, pick their own 1/4 peck of apples (to take home) and learn about celebrations that the orchard does to celebrate the apple harvest. If you are able to make a donation to help support our participation in this event, that is appreciated but not required. A suggested donation of $6/student may be made out to Waitsfield School and will help support this and other field trips; please know that such a donation is not, however, required. I need all donations by Thursday, September 13th.
Have a great week.
Peace,
Tommy
