Above you is a brief video clip of our science class today. We started our first day of Forces and Motion with a science circus. We teamed up with Mr. Hubbard's class and allowed the students to use a variety of balls and ramps to explore their ideas and make new discoveries. If you watch this video with your child, ask him/her what was going on in the clip. This should lead to an easy discussion about their own discoveries. We finished the class with a min science circle of sharing and reporting out of ideas. All in all, it was a fantastic and exciting start to our science unit.
Picture day went well. Each year I try to find a new spot for our group photo. My goal is to teach 30 years at the Waitsfield School and to never have the same setting for our class photo. I hope you like this year's choice. Since it was Jersey Day, this marked the first time in my teaching career that I did not have a tie on.
Announcements:
*The informational parent meeting is scheduled for Monday at 6:00. Ms. Hopper had surgery on Wednesday and will not be able to attend. I will be able to speak about the 2nd grade math as well.
We have had an absolutely wonderful week, and I am very pleased with the class. I hope you enjoy the weekend.
Peace,
Tom
