Inside the classroom, our academic focus has been primarily on end-of-the-year assessments in both math and literacy. It has been so rewarding for me to see how far everyone has come this year. While we've been having fun, it looks like I was able to sneak in some learning! We have some eager readers, accomplished authors and brilliant mathematicians in our classroom. It's been a great year!
Last week, the children had a blast at our annual Fun Run! The music was blasting and everyone was smiling as we took to the track. What a great fundraiser for our amazing PTO!
This week, we visited the Bread and Butter farm right here in South Burlington. You might remember that we went to the farm back in the fall. This time, we compared to see how things were different in the spring. One thing we found was that the pigs AND the cows are all expecting new babies! We even listened to see if we could hear them inside their moms' tummies!
We planted our own basil plants with Farmer Becca...
We harassed the chickens....
It was another wonderful day at the farm!
Maybe we can all meet there for burger night this summer?
Recently, we planted some pumpkin seeds. These seeds were very special because we saved them when we carved a jack-o-lantern back in October. It's been very exciting to see our seeds growing into healthy pumpkin plants! We are all hopeful that we will be able to pick our own pumpkins in the fall.
TUESDAY, JUNE 13 will be FIELD DAY at Chamberlin School. There will be a variety of stations set up outside for the kids to rotate through. WE WILL GET WET. Bathing suits should not be worn, but I would ask that each student have a COMPLETE change of clothes for that day. This includes shoes. Also, it would be a good idea to apply sunscreen before leaving home that day (or any sunny day!!:)
Our snack shelf is looking bare! If you are able to contribute something for this final round of snacks, we would really appreciate it.
