Our Star Wars Day went well last week. Students participated in Star Wars activities throughout the day, our Book Buddies came to visit (and students decorated cookies), and then the day concluded with me getting pied in the face (at the Town Meeting). This is it for school in 2015. Snow or not, winter break is coming later in the week.
Students will be putting the finishing touches on their World Food Fest 2015 project this week, with the culminating event being a World Food Fest on Wednesday. We’ll have a lot of food, and parents are invited, too.
Students will finish their Colony Brochure 2015 project this week. They’ll have one final block of time to put the finishing touches on it in school on Monday, and it’s due on Tuesday.
Upcoming Events
World Food Fest – Wednesday, December 23
Science Center Field Trip – Friday, February 26
Nathan Hale Field Trip – Friday, May 20
Last Day of School – Tuesday, June 7

This is the last full week of school for 2015. Our next full week of school doesn’t come until January 2016. On Friday our Book Buddies from Pine Grove will be coming over to visit. Fifth graders will be decorating sugar cookie men/women with their little partners. This week is Spirit Week at Thompson Brook. Students are encouraged to dress up each day this week:
Monday – 50s
Tuesday – 60s
Wednesday – 70s
Thursday – 80s
Friday – Future Day
Students will be working hard on their World Food Fest 2015 project this week, with the culminating event being a World Food Fest on December 23. In plain English, we’ll have a big ‘ole party with a lot of food and parents are invited, too.
Students will also continue working on their Colony Brochure 2015 project. They will be working with a partner on a project involving one of the 13 colonies. Most of this will be done in school.

It was great seeing so many parents at Parent/Teacher Conferences last week. I also want to give a big thank you to everyone who helped or donated (time or money) for the Holiday Bear Project. It was the most successful experience I’ve ever had with the project, with the most money raised and the most students going shopping (all of them). Students learned about fundraising, budgeting, wrapping presents, and of course, empathy. Two kids are going to have a very pleasant surprise this holiday season.
Last week students applied for positions and submitted resumes for our class store, Bungles. They will find out soon what their jobs are as either the store manager, assistant manager, sales representative, or advertising agent.
This week students will be introduced to the World Food Fest 2015 project. You could check out all the details from the attached packet (that students will have on Monday, too), but the bottom line is that this is an intensive cultural and geography project that we will be working on over the next two weeks, with the culminating event being a World Food Fest on December 23. In plain English, we’ll have a big ‘ole party with a lot of food and parents are invited, too.
Students will also start the Colony Brochure 2015 project on Tuesday. They will be working with a partner on a project involving one of the 13 colonies. Most of this will be done in school.
