100th Day!

Today we celebrated the 100th day of school today by sharing our projects and parading around to see the other K - 2 projects. The students worked hard and were proud to share their creations with the others! Check out all the great projects in the photos below!

Tracking with Shelburne Farms!

The visiting teachers from Shelburne Farms did an amazing job helping the students search for signs of animals near our school.  We found so many tracks and learned about how some animals (including humans) are straight-walkers and some are hoppers. Ask your child to tell you what we saw!

Mad Hatter

During science this week we explored material properties and participated in an engineering task.  We pretended that we were stranded on an island and needed to create a comfortable hat that would protect us from the sun and also help soak up the sweat.  Each child was given certain materials that we tested for comfort, stiffness, and waterproofness. They were then asked to create a hat with materials they had. They were very creative!
