2019 Statehouse and Shelburne Museum Trip Slip (2)-15garpb

Volunteer Form

Students have been investigating energy this trimester. We have been looking at the properties of an energy stick and which materials cause it to light up and make a sound. We have tested different configurations that may/may not cause a light bulb to light up using wires and a battery. We ended the week turning ourselves into a human circuit!

In science we have been learning about different plant functions and what they need to survive. Students dissected flowers and were able to identify their parts and jobs. We also “pollinated” model flowers.

Hello Families,

Just a reminder that we will be on a field trip this Friday to the State House and the Vermont Historical Museum.

We will be leaving school at 8:35 (just as they come in) and will return by 2:00.

The kids are to bring a snack and a lunch. Please remember that there is to be NO glass bottles. Thank you for helping us to stay safe.

I will ask tomorrow if the kids are ordering a school breakfast or a lunch. Please talk with your children tonight.

As there were issues with technology on our last trip there will be NO TECHNOLOGY coming with us this trip, or the trip to the Shelburne Museum, the following Tuesday. The children may bring a camera, but NO cell phone, iPod, iPad, Chromebook, etc., etc., etc. Should you have any questions please feel free to email me. Thank you for your understanding with this matter and for helping me to keep this a SAFE, RESPECTFUL and RESPONSIBLE field trip.

Thank you for all you do.

Have a great week.
Heather

Our class is continuing with the Goal Sheets each morning. The kiddos set a goal for themselves to work at during the day and hopefully MEET THEIR GOAL by the end of the day. You may see that your child continues with the same goal for a bit, as they feel that they need some more work with that goal. I appreciate how they are really thinking of what they need to be the RESPECTFUL, RESPONSIBLE  and SAFE individuals that we are all helping them (and wanting them) to be.
So0000000, here’s where you come in, Grown- Ups. Each night your child is to share with you their goal sheet for the day. Then they will ask you to sign that you saw it. The following day they pass them in to me and I keep a record of this. PLEASE, could you help your child with this process until it is a routine in your home? Thank you! The kids truly benefit when all of the major stake holders are involved in this! Thank you again.

Have a FABULOUS SPRING vacation!!!

Yesterday you noticed that your child brought home a purple Goal Plan sheet to you to be signed. Each morning the kids will individually write a goal to monitor their behavior in our classroom. Throughout the day one of the teachers may will go to them and notice when they are meeting their goal. You will then see our initials (HL, VC, MM, or JK)- written in our handwriting. There should be three sets of initials on the sheet to show that the goal was met.

Please check for this sheet each and every night. I also ask that you sign the sheet, and have your child return the previous day’s plan to me the next morning. As we discuss in class, there are three parts to homework: (1) Take it home, (2) Do it! and (3) Bring it back to school. Until all three things are done the homework it not completed. Remember, I know that it is the child’s responsibility to ask you to sign their sheet and return it to me.

Thank you for your help with this matter.
