Volunteers Are Up and Running
Thank you to all who are able to come into the classroom each week and lend a hand. It is a terrific thing for children to see parents working along side their teacher and them. It is also a benefit to the parents to be able to hear lessons, witness programs at work, and to see how the children interact. For anyone who could not commit for a regular time, PLEASE feel free to stop by when you have a minute to just say hi or sit with us for ten minutes. I have an open door policy.
This Friday, at 8:00 a.m., Pat Folsom, Waitsfield’s resident “Bird Lady”, is coming to class to kick off a very special unit on birds. I am planning on Beth Libby and Bear or Elizabeth to be helping. I asked Beth to gather a couple of jars of peanut butter and birdseed so that we can make bird feeders with Pat. We will be creating a bird sanctuary just outside our classroom. I am really excited about the unit and the work we will be doing. Look for an outline of the unit to come in a future blog entry.
