Happy Monday,

 Today was the first day of our Food Arts Residency program.  Our class was split among three different activities.  The first group of students spent the morning shucking and learning about beans that grow in Vermont.  The second group cooked delicious Butternut Squash and Kale Quesadillas as well as Falafels.  Our third group of students spent the morning at Kingsbury Farm.  They learned about growing the vegetables used to make pizza. 

 Please check the GREEN sheet that went home with your student on Friday to see what activities they will be participating in tomorrow. 

 On Thursday the whole class will be visiting a local farm together.  During an assembly on Friday morning students will share what they have learned in each group and have an opportunity to taste some of the delicious food that comes from the Mad River Valley. 

HOMEWORK:  There will be no homework this week.  The residency and early release day have changed our schedule quite a bit.  Therefore, read books from home (if you choose) and look for a new math game next week.

*I recommend that you apply sunblock to your child each morning. 

Have a great week.

Peace,

Tom
