The kids each made a baseball card with information about themselves. They will each be bringing home a set of cards to help them learn the names of their classmates. The originals are hanging from the ceiling outside our classroom door. The students also wrote about a favorite summer memory and shared their memory with the class.
NOTES:
*Please send in a reusable (cloth) grocery bag with your child. This was a request that was included int he summer email that you all received. The students will use these all year long. If you need one provided, just let me know.
*We will be headed to Adam's Apple Orchard in Williston, VT on September 25th. We have been using apples to learn how to write like a scientist in our science notebooks. I thought it would be a great connection to take part in a great fall Vermont activity like apple picking. If you would like to chaperone on the trip, please let me know via email (tyoung@huusd.org). I will ask that the parents all carpool together and follow us up to the Orchard. We will leave a little bit before 8:00 am and arrive back to Waitsfield by 1:00 pm. Your child will need a snack and a lunch for the trip. If you would like the school to provide one, please fill out the form that will be in your child's backpack on Tuesday. The school will be covering the cost of the trip, so please don't send in any money.
*Please make sure that your child's plastic Ziploc bag comes back each day. Next week, I will start letting kids bring home a book of choice.
*Book Order: Please remember that the deadline for Scholastic book orders is September 13th.
That is all for now. I hope you all have a great long weekend.
Peace,
Mr. Young
