We talked about 9/11 today.  I started by showing a read aloud of the book September Roses.  We then read an article about what happened that day and discussed how the country changed after that day.  The definition of terrorist was shared, but we did not focus on that part.

On September 30th we will be going on a field trip to the West Farm in Jeffersonville, VT.  Many papers were sent home today about this trip. We are planning this in conjunction with Healthy Roots. There are two permission slips you need to sign and return.  Linked here is the school permission slip.   Here is a link to Healthy Roots Collaborative.

Today we spent a lot of time reading! We looked through all of our non-fiction books and got rid of old ones that the students would probably not choose to read anymore.  This allowed the students to really see what kinds of books we have!  Here is a video of the kids reading.

And another video of our hula hoop hopping!
