Good Morning,
I hope you all enjoyed the beautiful weekend. It was certainly nice to bask in the glow of the sun. May marks the start of a very busy month. We will be wrapping up several projects, conducting individual math and reading inventories, and preparing for our spring concert. To accommodate these items, parts of our schedule will look a little different from time to time. There will be some days where we are doubling up science classes, in order to get through the rest of our science curriculum.
Field Trip: We will meeting up with our Waterbury pen-pals on June 11th. This year we will meet them in Waterbury and then take the bus up to the trailhead for Stowe Pinnacle. We will hike up to the meadow, eat our lunch, play a little, and then return to the bus. On the way home, we will stop by Ben and Jerry's for an ice cream cone. Each child will need $4.50 for an ice cream cone. Please send in the money by Friday, May 22nd. Checks can be made out to Waitsfield Elementary School. There is a process in getting one check written and I won't be able to accept any other checks after this date. If you would like your child to have a school (bagged) lunch on this day, please let me know by the 22nd as well. I would love for a few chaperones to join us. Let me know if you would like to join.
***NOTE**** One of the students in our pen-pals' class has a severe nut allergy. Your child's lunch needs to be nut-free on this day. This includes both tree nut and peanuts. If your child chooses a school lunch, it will be nut-free and you won't have to worry about it.
Spring Concert: The spring concert is on Thursday, May 21st at 6:00 p.m. Please plan on arriving by 5:50 in the gymnasium. Our rehearsals will be on Tuesday morning and Thursday morning of that week.
Notes:
*I will be out of school on Friday. I have a wake to attend in St. Albans.
*Early release day on Wednesday. Students are dismissed at 11:50.
I hope you all have a great week.
Best,
Tommy
