OPEN DOORS KITCHEN EXPERIMENTS - VAILLANCOURT

This crew of kids made Flubber. There are many recipes on the internet for making rubbery and slimy mixtures. The one they used had non-toxic ingredients and needed microwaving to complete the process.  4-1-2021  Link to 8 Pictures.

GOLDEN DOME AWARD BOOKS

It is recommended that students read at least five of the year's nominated titles before voting. 


Our SACS library has multiple copies of most of the books on this year’s list, so be sure to check them out today!  Voting takes place this spring, beginning April 30th and ending May 28th. We will have a virtual celebration to vote and discuss all of the books we have been reading this year!  Use this link to email Mrs. Levine and let her know that you would like to participate, connect, and vote for your favorite Vermont Golden Dome Book Award nominee!


Here is a sampling of the 17 books on the list. Link to the full list of Golden Dome Award books and new library books to read


Leaving a possible war behind is easy, but leaving Baba, Issa, and everything Jude knows is hard. This great story is written in verse!


Through Jude’s eyes, readers see firsthand what it is to leave behind one’s beloved home and family, as many refugees do every single day. Young readers will laugh with Jude, cry with her, and root for her every step of the way. A beautiful, powerful, and important book for all readers.


Runaway sisters Viji and Rukku quickly discover life on the streets is dangerous. Fortunately, the girls find shelter - and friendship - on an abandoned bridge that’s also the hideout of Muthi and Arul. Making a living scavenging the city's trash heaps is the pits, but the kids are now the bosses of themselves, no longer dependent on untrustworthy adults. When illness strikes, Viji must decide whether to risk seeking help from strangers or to keep holding on to their fragile, hard-fought freedom.


If you have ever looked up at the night sky and wondered: What does it all mean? How does it all work? And what is my place in the universe? Astrophysics for Young People in a Hurry will give you a basic knowledge of the major ideas and discoveries that help scientists think about the universe. If I’ve succeeded, you’ll be able to stun your parents at the dinner table, impress your teachers, and stare up at the stars on cloudless nights with a deeper sense of both understanding and wonder.
