Let's Celebrate our Stories!

We enjoyed a peaceful celebration Friday afternoon as we read each other's stories and complimented each other on our efforts!  We can all agree that we are talented story tellers and it was a blast to take time to reflect and be proud of ourselves.  Nice work, Kids!









The Wild Robot.....

Friday was a special day for us in lots of ways!  One thing that made it a rockin' day for us was our investigtion about bones and tendons.  Students built "robot fingers" to demonstrate how our real fingers work with muscles, tendons, and bones..... it was a nice way to learn more about our human structures AND to celebrate the completion of an amazing read aloud  - The Wild Robot!  It's a 2017-2018 DCF Book....and we really enjoyed it!









How and what do different birds eat?

LET'S INVESTIGATE !!  Our class did a fun and informative science investigation as we concluded our last unit of study.  Students explored how different beak structures allow birds to successfully enjoy different diets.  Students collected data and explained results....and had a pretty good time in the process!








Our Trip to the Audubon!

Our trip to the Audubon was a blast!  It was a beautiful fall day, and there was lots to learn about the structures and lives of the birds in our local ecosystem!   The Birds of Vermont Museum is a local treasure that many of us want to return to with our families!   Enjoy some scenes from the day!






















Recess Fun with Mr. White!

Recently some students introduced Mr. White to the fun of "poppers" at recess!  Here they are making a slow motion video of one popping in their hands!


October 2nd is National Custodial Appreciation Day!

Our class celebrated the incredible efforts of Mr. Spence and Mr. Beane this week and showered their door with notes of thanks for all they do to help us come to school each day!  We are so thankful for the clean, warm, and safe school that you keep going for us all every day!  You are awesome and we're lucky to have you at RES!
