School Year 2021-22 winds down! Enjoy your summer!
This year our grade 5 classes took part in the Ozobot 1:1 program. Each week students worked with Ms. Cacciatore learning to code their robots first with line following and color codes, then progressing to writing code using Ozoblockly. For the last few weeks students were given various coding challenges, from navigating through the galaxy to destroy the Death Star, to competing against each other in a coding race, to working as a team coding their Ozobots to perform a synchronized line dance. It was quite impressive how each challenge was met with determination and much enthusiasm. Great job grade 5!

Tie Dye Fun!
As we look forward to planning our Big Celebration at the end of the school year (more information to come as we get closer) we are looking for your support and help!
We are planning to tie dye shirts, so as a school community we can all wear our shirts on the last day of school. If you have availability to provide a white t-shirt for your child to tie dye that would be greatly appreciated. If you are interested in providing a few extra t-shirts for your child's classroom peers, that would also be greatly appreciated!
Please have your child's t-shirt delivered to school no later than June 6th.
Thanks again for your support and help with this project!

Ms. Janny and Miss Burke's 2nd graders went to Lake St. Catherine yesterday to help get rid of an invasive plant, garlic mustard. We played games and made a graph to show how invasive species can take over and destroy other plants.
Although it was a rainy day, we saved thousands of native plants and butterflies at the park. Thank you to Kyle Mason and the Rutland County Foresters for having us! We had a blast and look forward to coming back next year!
The Cougar visited again on Tuesday! The cougar had lunch with our winning passports drawn from our Celebration of Learning!
