Welcome Back to TGS!
It is great to have the building filled with the sounds of
the kids. The mornings have been full of greetings and catching up. The
students that arrive early to 6th grade stand at the big window and
watch for friends arriving by bus. We ended the first week with the 5th
graders and Charlie enjoying a last grasp for summer fun at the pond behind my
mother’s house. I pointed out where the original TGS building stood as well as
the old ski jump on the walk down.
In three weeks we will have our first class trip, an
overnight to Lake Champlain. I will need four cars with chaperone/drivers. Please let me know this week if you are
interested. We drive up on Thursday, September 26 arriving at the Lake
Champlain Maritime Museum in time for a picnic lunch and an afternoon at the
museum. We will spend the night down the road at Button Bay State Park in three
sturdy lean-tos. The following day, Friday, September 27, we will join Ben
Mayock for the Paddling Ecology workshop. Students will be on the water in
canoes conducting water tests and on the shore identifying plankton in collected
waters samples and more.
I am putting together a general homework schedule for sixth
grade students. I will be verifying the accuracy of it in faculty meeting on
Monday and then get it onto “Kathy’s Page” Tuesday morning.
Happy sunny Sunday, Kathy
