Elmore families, Another week is in the books as we quickly approach the end of the school year. The next few weeks will be full with activities that will take us to our partnering schools MES and PA for an author visit, an assembly (TIGER), the Memorial Day Observance, and to see 4th graders perform Frozen. Additionally, we will be hiking to the Beaver …
Dear Elmore Families, This week flew by in a flash! I have a feeling that is the way things will go for the following month. On Monday I spent the day assessing students’ reading levels. I made it through all of second and third grade and just have first grade to go. Students began writing their memory letters for the graduating third graders (third …
Dear Elmore families, We were back together after what I hope was a wonderful break for all. Several children shared about their travels while others stayed close to home and enjoyed all that our local area has to offer. The weather was somewhat cloudy, wet, and cool but we managed to have quite a bit of outdoor time this week including recesses and ECO. …
Dear Elmore families, We were graced with a summer preview this week with days reaching well into the 70s and even some low 80s. I think it is safe to say that Vermont’s two complimentary seasons, known to all Vermonters as “mud season” and “sugaring season” have come (or are at least coming) to an end for another year. Thursday was a perfect weather …
Dear Elmore Families, We had another busy week at the Elmore School. It was brought to my attention that we only have about 8 weeks left in the school year! We still have much to do before June 14 arrives. The full moon was evident in the energy that filled the classroom this week! During our literacy block, we manipulated sounds in words during …
Good morning Elmore families, The March calendar might say it is spring, but as we all know, winter likes to hold on a little longer here in northern Vermont. The longer days and stronger sun are promising signs that it will not be too much longer until the blanket of snow will give way to grass. For now, the sugar makers will reap the …
Elmore families, This was a fast a furious week, with a larger than expected late winter snowstorm, an unplanned early dismissal, our first concert in 3 years, a planned early release, and student-led conferences on Friday! We’d like to get your feedback regarding the conferences: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe1teGiwLGmhdvqQ1UR_MwKdTohEqgIBnfbXyGAWhpbPuv5Lw/viewform?usp=sf_link We spent the majority of the week getting ready for our concert and organizing and preparing for our conferences. …
Elmore families, School was back in session after a lengthy winter break. Whether you traveled or stayed close to home over the break, I hope you found some time to enjoy with your children while they were on break. I know I feel rejuvenated and ready for the weeks to come after a nice vacation with my husband and friends. Last week we tied …
Dear Elmore families, Week 24 was full of outreach and kindness! Monday we were busy finishing many projects including making Valentines, 100th Day writing, and our timelines. On Tuesday we celebrated Valentine’s Day by decorating the Post Office with over 150 valentines and a banner. We hope this made many people in the Elmore community feel loved and appreciated. Two of the Elmore students …
