Greetings Everyone!
This has been a busy week so far, we had our first K-1 field trip to Champlain Orchards on Tuesday and our annual health fair today. Students are doing an exceptional job trying new things, asking thoughtful questions, and making connections with their new experiences.
This week we are really focusing on appreciating all of the different jobs and people within our community that help to nourish us and keep us safe. Visiting the orchard was a fabulous way to connect with the delicious apples we get to enjoy here in Vermont and for students to understand all of the work that goes in to growing, sending and sharing this food!
Our health fair this morning did a wonderful job of bringing forth community members ranging from a fire chief to an orienteering expert and even a yoga instructor. Students learned about the functions of a fire truck and ambulance, for some this was their first time seeing these vehicles so it was a great way for them to learn and meet the people who work with them to keep us safe. Yoga helped us to relax and stretch our muscles while time with Mr. Olson showed us how to use a compass. Students took breaks to run the track in a "Challenge by Choice" where they could earn bracelets by jogging or walking the track. We also took time to talk a veteran bus driver who shared some of the jobs and rules that she has and how students can help!
We are looking forward to Four Winds on Friday, have a great week everyone!
