Hello Everyone,
A reminder that this Wednesday evening the Vista teachers will be sharing a typical day in the life of a Vista student at our annual Parent Information Night. We will be discussing curriculum, homework, communication, team events, FAP, and much more. We begin at 6:30 in the Kiva and then move into the classrooms for 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th grade discussions. I look forward to seeing many parents and sharing our plan for the year and beyond!
We began a study entitled Then and Now in the classroom today. The children are taking a close look at everyday items that are between 50 -100 years old and comparing them to the same items from today. We have a broom, medicine bottles, candles, toys, milk bottles, jars, and skis. If you happen to have something old hanging around the house send it in for a quick comparison.
Wednesday morning we'll be traveling to Williston Village for a guided tour of the Town Hall, Library, and hopefully the old school house. I'm not sure which part of the field trip the children are more excited about; the guided tour or seeing their Esprit friends again.
We finally got around to the final stage of our mask making project, adding the embellishments. The children were given a wide assortment of materials and had to make a plan as to what they wanted their mask to represent and then justify the use of the materials they requested. They were incredibly thoughtful about the entire process. The attached video has the thoughts of a few of the children as to how or why they made their mask the way they did. Some of the interviews were achieved in one take while others met with unforeseen challenges and required a second or third take!
Happy Reading,
Julie
