FRIDAY, APRIL 3rd
CHROMEBOOK AND OTHER MATERIALS
Mr. Hoben is waiting in the lobby each day for families that have a Chromebook or other materials to pick up. He is there from 10:30-1:00 Monday through Friday. When your teacher calls to let you know that your stuff is ready, Mr. Hoben will be the one you see to get it.In this picture, Mr. Hoben is waiting with Chromebooks ready to go out. When these are all handed out, we will have a Chromebook in each home that needs one. We started by getting one out for each family. Our next task will be to look at families with 4 or more students and get those families a second one. Thank you all for your patience as we work through the details. |
UPDATES FROM STUDENTS AND TEACHERS
Here are images and stories sent in by families and staff over recent days. MUD CREEK WILDLIFE AREA Attached are photos of several students exploring Mud Creek Wildlife Management Area in Alburgh. Along their walk they saw evidence of beavers cutting down trees to build their dams. They also saw several groups of common loons. When returning home they learned that common loons are a "symbol of grace, beauty, and wildness for many people."
