Good Afternoon,

  I hope everyone is succeeding in their quest for warmth.  Yesterday, I spent the day in Montpelier as we continued to "dive" into the new Math curriculum that will be implemented next year.  It was a good meeting and I will now bring the information back to the staff through future staff development.

  This afternoon we continued to investigate the idea of vibrations and how the rate of vibration effects the tone of a sound.  The kids investigated this by exploring 4 different sound stations.  They had the chance to use a triangle, guitar, dulcimer, and their own vocal chords.



  Since we lost all of our planning time this morning, I will send a new first grade math activity on Monday.

Have a great evening.
Peace,
Tom
