Upcoming Events

Here's a few dates and events to keep on your radar:

Friday, 9/30--First spelling test; students need to be prepared and bring in their spelling list (they will swap lists with a partner and give each other the test).

Monday, 10/3--weekly reading charts due.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, 10/3, 10/4 & 10/5--NECAP testing for everyone. A good night's sleep, a healthy, nutritious breakfast and a calm, unhurried start to the morning is probably the best preparation. I've told students they may bring in a small stuffed animal to keep on their tables during testing (small enough to fit in a lunch box is a good guideline). It's not required but most students seem to draw some comfort from a familiar item from home during these tests.

Friday, 10/14--3rd & 4th grade play put on by students working after school with Mr. Hill. They'll perform in the morning for the school and in the evening, I believe, for parents and community members.

Friday, 10/14--3/4 field trip to Shelburne Museum. We'll leave after the morning performance and be back by 2 p.m. More info about this will come home soon.

Wednesday, Nov. 9--3/4 field trip to the Vermont State House and Historical Museum--again, more info will come home soon.
