What a trip!
Thanks to Jennifer Packard, and the folks at Jesse's Restaurant the fifth graders got to see one local company's effort to reduce its carbon footprint. Through local gardens (on the Jesse's lawn), and a huge compost pile, Jesse's is reducing, reusing and recycling.
With the impending frost, the fifth graders got to harvest the entire garden. We found carrots, eggplant, peppers, lettuce, green beans, broccoli and lots of tomatoes. Then we were treated to a buffet lunch complete with an ice cream sundae. YUM! The Vielleux Crew learned about the word "etiquette" in a Daily Language Review assignment, and transformed our new knowledge into a discussion of restaurant etiquette, and more specifically buffet etiquette. There are some of the rules for this special occasion that we came up with.

Wanted: Math Fact Masters-- $10 Reward
Wanted: Students who learn their math facts.
Many students have already tried out www.xtramath.org which is a no-frills website designed to help students master their math facts. Students begin with multiplication and move onto division. Kids complete a prescribed set of activities and eventually pass. Each night that they practice, I am sent a notification. Please make sure they practice for one whole session. They will be compensated for their work by being given $1VCB for every night they practice. Once they have completed multiplication mastery, they will receive a $10 bonus! Flyers will come home on Monday to tell you how to register.

Preamble Duet
As I greeted the students this morning, a couple of students were eager to show me how hard they had worked on their memorization of the Preamble to the Constitution. This one was especially energetic!
Of course, everyone else wanted in on the action as well...
