TEAM USA MORNING MEETING
Team USA is staying connected by hosting a morning meeting each day at 9am.  Information from the teachers and City School are shared.  Students get to share what is going on with them or any questions they may have.  It has been a nice way to check in with students and share some face time with each other.  Teachers have also set up Office Hours for parents and students to check-in online.  Team USA continues to update our home page, www.teamusavt.org, with updates and important documents.

Mr Kelly provides music lessons online

CHICKENS AND MAPLE SYRUP
From the Hoague family: My boys and I (Ms. Hoague) have been working on making backyard maple syrup and we recently got 6 baby chicks to go with our current flock of 6 hens. We get lots of fresh eggs that we share with neighbors and friends.




PAINTINGS
This picture was shared by Tami Dodge who is watching some of the teacher's children from Team Triumph.  They made a painting on canvas and wanted to share them for the daily announcements.

BARKER'S PRE-K LEARNING
Hello from a parent. I've seen that you’ve still kept the announcements newsletter up and I have to tell you about Mr.Barker. My daughter is in his class and he does youtube videos of things that they would do in class so that they are still able to do them. Here are links to two of them.  I just love that we are still able to be a part of his classroom even when we are unable to be at school.

STEAM staff member, Ms. Rankin, took a moment away from advising SACS teachers about online engagement to go outside and build a snow blob with her daughter. 3-24-2020
