The past two weeks have been full of exciting experiences, both in and out of the classroom. Students have been skiing and snowboarding at Cochran’s, where they practiced skills, built confidence, and enjoyed time outdoors. We also took a special trip to the Flynn Theater in Burlington to see Cirque Mechanics: Tilt. The show was packed with incredible stunts and creative storytelling. Be sure to ask your child about some of the amazing feats we saw.

Back in the classroom, students have been hard at work finishing their weather related books. They recently completed the writing process, including editing, revising, and giving and receiving peer feedback, and the final copies have been printed. Your child will be bringing their book home within the next week, and we are so proud of their effort and growth as writers.

Students are also working in small groups on specific word study skills and are spending time reading and writing to apply what they are learning. These skills connect nicely to our writing work and help strengthen their overall literacy development.

Looking ahead, over the next couple of weeks we will be learning more about the Winter Olympics. We will be following Team USA and tracking medals as we connect real world events to our learning.

Thank you for your continued support. We are excited for what is ahead.
