VEEP Electricity Workshop

Aaron, from VEEP, joined us yesterday to get us excited about electricity!  Together we visited 6 stations thinking about theses anchoring questions: How is electricity generated?  How can we use energy efficiently?  Ask your child about what they learned?

The Vermont Bucks pay a visit to SCS!

The Vermont Bucks (arena Football team) visited us before vacation.  Coach Wayne and the players let us ask them so many questions!  We were so interested in their answers!  We learned that many of these players have played football their whole lives, they've been to college, they have other jobs, they love a variety of musics, they eat healthy and exercise!  Most importantly, they shared with us that we should always be working towards our dreams, one day at a time!

Thank you Ryder Family for the baby frogs!

Before vacation we went from frog eggs to busy little tadpoles.  The tadpoles traveled back to Sarah's house over vacation and return today!  I wonder how they have changed!  We will have to get our notebooks out and make some careful observations!

Slow It Down, Spread It Out and Soak It Up!

Today Krista from the Lewis Creek Association and the Ahead of the Storm non-profit environmental groups joined us to teach us about the water cycle and its impact on Lake Champlain!  We learned about the pollutants and water that gather around our school property!  We are excited about our continued work with the Lewis Creek in the fall of 2017!  We will be building a rain garden in the front parking circle!  More news to come on that this fall!
