December 5, 2012

Good Morning,
  As you know, this year one of our themes is traditions and celebrations.  Each year the Valley Rotary sponsors a "Festival of Lights" tradition/contest throughout the Mad River Valley.  We have entered this competition each of the last 5 years.  This year, Mr. Greenleaf's class will be joining us as we construct our entry.  This year's theme is "sparkle."  We will have the kids create snowflakes and an image of themselves to demonstrate how each child "sparkles in the snow."  Snow is something that is symbolic of the MRV and is something that we all enjoy.  In the past, we have used our winnings to purchase new books for the classroom and an i-pad.

  Yesterday. the students worked on their magnet assessments.  Each child had to create three questions he/she had about magnets.  They then had to choose one of the questions to investigate and draw up a plan for investigating it.  They will continue their experiments on Friday.   I was quite impressed with their work with the scientific process.

  I hope you have a great day.

Peace,
Tom
