We’ve made it to the last week of February. With the last two days before vacation being snow days, we’ll have to make some adjustments to our schedule. A planned science test that did not happen will be rescheduled for this week along with a few other things.We have a field trip on Friday to the Connecticut Science Center. Students should bring a lunch and a drink that day.
Four months left in the school year – tick tock tick tock… I’m just hoping for a rapid end to the cold and snow. I’ve done my skiing for the season and now I’m ready for spring.
Upcoming Events
Connecticut Science Center field trip – Friday, February 28

This is a five-dayer (supposedly – weather permitting) with all of next week off for February Vacation. It is also the last ever February Vacation as the vacation goes ba-bye with next year’s school calendar.
Last week State Representative Tim LeGeyt came to join us for about half a day. One teacher in Avon was selected to be “shadowed” by a politician, I was picked, and there ya go.
Junior Achievement started on Wednesday and so far it has gone really well. The program for fifth grade is called Our Nation and includes 5-6 lesson days. Our Nation focuses on businesses that utilize science, technology, engineering, and math. It’s a great tie-in to our own class business, Bungles, and other entrepreneurial discussions we’ve had as a class. Click here for more detailed information on the sessions.
