Yesterday's 250th Birthday Celebration was wonderful!  The students did a great job with an important topic.  If you remember, this project had 4 products.  An interview with a technology piece of the interview, a written report, the timeline, and the "In Their Own Words" poster.  In addition they read a book about Vermont Sugaring and completed a grid of sugaring through the years.  They received grades in reading, writing, social studies, technology, and group work (collaboration, communication, perseverance, listening, and speaking).  It was an intense project. Many people were impressed! Next week I will be asking a couple of students to write an article for the Messenger and County Courier to share what happened here yesterday! All the students in the school had great work to share!
  Thank you for all of your support throughout this project.  I couldn't pull it off without the help of the parents.

  

Today we had an assembly for Memorial Day. Mr. Stebbins shared the meaning of Memorial Day and explained what it is. The band played and the chorus sang!  I will post video of that next week. I will also post more pictures from Thursday. We then cleaned and reorganized our room from our Project Sweet Talk mess!  They were rewarded with the Monster University movie!
