ACADEMIC UPDATES
Ms. Quatt- Math/Science
SBAC Testing was the order of business this week. Both 7th and 8th grade students showed a lot of grit and perseverance! Kudos to our 7th and 8th graders. We spent Friday, reconnecting with our current math and science concepts. We ended the week with saying a fond farewell to Mr. Sironi who has completed his internship and is graduating from UVM.Mr. Roof - 7&8 Humanities:
Please see Ms. Quatt's notes. 7th graders were in my space for the testing and were excellent. They were hard working and respectful. Way to go, Voyager! Next week, we'll get back to Social Studies and ELA curriculum in earnest.Mr. Merrill - 5/6 Humanities:
SBAC Testing - The kids were superstars this week! They worked really hard on the assessments.Next week is trout week! Students will be participating in a number of activities as we prepare for our trout release field trip on Friday. In my classroom, we will be reading and writing about fishing, making fishing lures, tying knots, learning to cast a fishing rod, and completing a scavenger hunt of the Vermont Fishing Guide and Regulations. On Friday, after we release the trout in Lewis Creek, we will head over to Lake Iroquois for some fishing and water science activities. Many thanks to Central Vermont Trout Unlimited for sponsoring and supporting us with our trout tank this year. Also, many thanks to the Let’s Go Fishing Program (Vermont Fish and Wildlife) for providing the supplies for our fishing activities.
