April 16, 2012

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  We had our annual spring cleaning bonanza at our house.  As crazy as May gets, it is nice to have a jump on things.  This week we will focus on getting the rest of our seeds planted and under the grow lights before vacation.  This will take place during our station time and on Tuesday afternoon.

There will be reading homework this week and a math survey sent home on Thursday.  Please make sure to fill out the reading log each week and try to play the game at least two times.

Just a quick reminder about vacations.  As I outlined in the beginning of the year, I ask that your child read and journal everyday that he/she is away from class.  Once you have returned, schedule a meeting with me so we can make a plan to complete missed work.  I will also ask the student to present their journal to class upon their return.

I hope you have a great week.

Peace,
Tom

Here are the words for our class song:


The Waitsfield Song   -written by Mr. Young’s Class and Mr. Hill

Waitsfield Vermont is very old,
More than two-hundred years since it was formed.
Seventeen-hundred and eighty eight
Is the year that it was born.

Chorus
Waitsfield, Waitsfield with your snowy mountain dome
In our hearts this Mad River Valley
Will always be our home.

People in Waitsfield make maple syrup and
Our farmer’s market can’t be beat
Crafts and meats and organic veggies
In the midst of summer heat.

Chorus

In the winter when snow is falling
We go skiing and sledding too.
Snowboarding, skating, and snowshoeing
Are some outdoor things we do.

Chorus
