An actual, real, true five day week! This week we have school pictures, the bike ride, Winding Trails, and the Egg Drop.

On Thursday, I’ll be taking any interested students on a bike ride to school. We leave from the Avon Free Public Library at 7 AM, and take a scenic and mostly flat ride into school. This event is optional, but students who decide to come along will need a working bicycle (not the one they got when they were four with the training wheels still attached), properly inflated tires, and a helmet that fits. Every year someone shows up with either a helmet that doesn’t fit, flat tires, or a bike that is far too small/far too big. I also need parents to join us for the ride so if you would like a great way to start your day and get some exercise, please come along!

Thursday will also be our team’s day to go to Winding Trails in Farmington. We’ll be doing team building activities outside for most of the day. Students should bring a lunch, preferably one in a disposable bag. They have to carry it around to several spots so it’s much easier if they could toss it. Also, skip the brown paper bags and go with something strong, like plastic. With all the carrying they have to do, they tend to swing it around, breaking weak bags (especially brown paper ones) and feeding the Farmington ants.

The Egg Drop will take place on Friday at 8:40 AM. Basically, I get on the roof of Thompson Brook School and throw down students’ egg containers, trying to break them along with all their hopes and dreams at the same time. They try to stop me. We’ll see who wins. Parents (and little ones not in school yet) are welcome to come watch. Everyone loves smashing things. While students heard that this event while take place, they will not learn any details about it until Tuesday.
