Important dates:
- Field trip tomorrow (Thursday) - Early release day: Friday, October 26th! Dismissal starts at 12:30 Greetings families! I hope that you are having a wonderful day and enjoying this warm weather! This is just a reminder that our field trip is tomorrow! We will be outside for almost the entire day from 9:30-1:30, so please have your student dress for the weather! It looks like a high of 62 degrees tomorrow, with it staying in the 50's for the majority of our trip. Students will also be getting close to a pond, so bringing an extra pair of shoes/socks or a pair of waterproof shoes wouldn't be a bad idea! Students should also have their snack, water bottle, and lunch. (Some students did order a bagged lunch from school, in which case they just need a snack!) I'll make sure to share photos from our field trip next week! Sincerely, Ms. Petzold/Mrs. Reagan

Hi families!
I apologize for the late notice, but there was a cancellation at Shelburne Farms so we were able to get in for a field trip next Thursday, October 27th. I sent home a permission slip with students today. If you could please return the forms back asap, that would be amazing. The field trip costs $8 per student, but if that is a hardship for your family, we do have scholarships available. More information can be found on the form. I have also provided a digital copy below for you to look at. On a personal note, my wedding was a ton of fun and the weather was gorgeous! I shared some photos with students today so they could see what I was up to this weekend! I really appreciate the hard work that they put in with our substitute for the days I was out. I hope you all have a wonderful afternoon! Sincerely, Mrs. Reagan (Ms. Petzold legally for now!) Important News:
Greetings families! I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend! I went down to Stowe on Monday and played disc golf for the first time with Ms. Adams and had a blast! We have officially finished our first science unit and students had their first day of Social Studies today, where they will be focusing on American Government. I heard from Mrs. Bliss and Miss Barry that our students did a fantastic job! Please as the weather starts to get colder, make sure that students have the appropriate layers to be outside with. On Friday for Book Buddies, they will be going outside if weather permits, so make sure they have appropriate gear! Tomorrow, October 12th is Anti-Bullying Awareness Day. Students are encouraged to wear orange tomorrow to raise awareness. (I didn't give a reminder at the end of the day, it was just mentioned during announcements, so this might be new information to some). Mrs. Tate will be in for me for the 3 days that I am out and I will not be checking my emails at all, so please call or email the office if you have any questions/concerns/changes. Sue O'Brien's email is [email protected] and Allyson Yandow's email is [email protected] I know that our students will be their absolute best while I'm gone. When I come back I'm going to start going by Mrs. Reagan, but my email will not change until I legally change my name (which might take a while), so I'll make sure to keep you updated on any changes there. I hope that you all have an awesome weekend! Sincerely, Ms. Petzold/Mrs. Reagan Greetings all!
Important Reminders:
I hope you all are having a great week so far! Students earned another classroom celebration this week and we celebrated by playing a random trivia Blooket today. We are also finishing up our Web of Life Science Unit, meaning that students will be transitioning next week to their first Social Studies unit with Mrs. Bliss. Their first unit will be about American Government. We will be having our first Farm-to-School lesson tomorrow. Our food focus of the month is the beet. Students will be learning about beats and making a salad with this colorful vegetable. All I am asking students to do is to try what they make, it is ok if they don't like it and they do not have to finish it. As long as they aren't allergic to any of the ingredients I encourage them to take at least a small bite. We will have a farm-to-school lesson every month, with a different food focus every month. Remember, adults are welcome to attend our Fun Run on Friday. 5th grade students will start their laps around 10:25. Be aware that there will most likely not be any parking available at Orchard, so try to carpool, walk, or bike if possible. I wish you the best of luck in finding a space! Sincerely, Ms. Petzold |
