We had a great week on Team Esprit! We started our SBAC testing and our third graders are off to a great start, working hard and doing their best! We will finish our testing on Monday and Wednesday of next week. We also had two fun activities that took us outside: Nearby Nature and the Shelbure Farms Bread Baking Event.
This month in Nearby Nature we learned about bees. We watched a puppet show to learn about how honeybees are pollinators and we learned about the different jobs of the bees in the hive. We also had the chance for an up-close look at bees and learned about adaptations that help them to survive and do their jobs. We even got to dress Mrs. Weimer up as a bee in Miss Niles' class! This was our last Nearby Nature of the year and the last for these third graders, as Nearby Nature does not continue in fourth grade. Thank you so much to our Nearby Nature volunteers for spending time with us each month and helping us to learn about and enjoy nature!
Per third grade tradition, Shelburne Farms visited on Wednesday for our Bread Baking Event! With the help of Shelburne Farms educators and parent volunteers, our third graders had the chance to bake bread and make butter! Not only did they make the bread, they also learned how to churn butter and grind wheat and also had a bread taste test. It was a beautiful day to be outside! I'm sure your child will agree that the taste testing was the best part! Thank you to Shelburne Farms, our SCS Food Smart Committee, and our parent volunteers for helping make this event possible!
Have a great weekend!
