This week has been a busy week for us!
Instead of me writing about our week, I asked students to work together
during Friday’s writing block to write a paragraph or two about an event that
took place this week. They worked in
groups of three or four to explain each event.
We have been typing our “I Am” poems based on a book called
Wonder. Students have published it on a website
called Edmodo. We share our thinking and
ideas about the book. Everyone comments
on each other’s poems and gives them our thoughts. This has been hard work, but fun. (Lauren,
Riley, Elahna)
On Wednesday, K-6 had Gifts for Giving all day long with
breaks. Every student got to make four
gifts for their family. They made gifts from
materials like nature to metal. After
the kids finished their gifts, they got a candy cane. Once they finished their gifts, they wrapped
them, and then went back to his/her classroom. (Katrina, Jacob, Connor)
On Thursday, we went caroling to nursing homes around East
Montpelier, Montpelier, Barre, and Northfield.
We went to four different nursing homes.
The 4-6 Chorus and grade 5 went caroling. When we were done singing at two nursing
homes we went to Pizza Hut for lunch.
Then we finished the other two nursing homes. We all loved seeing their faces! (Madison,
Mia, Jayden)
On Friday morning we split into two groups for Nature
Journaling. We went outside and looked
at different types of tracks. For
example, a deer is a walker. The group
that went to the left saw fresh turkey tracks.
The group on the right saw coyote tracks. Also, the group on the left saw stray cat
tracks with bird tracks as they came out of the woods. This was lots of fun! (Charlie, Billy,
Jackson, Trevor)
Have a wonderful weekend!
