Wednesday Horizon News

Dear Parents,
My name is Holli Pacitto and I have been in the classroom with your child on Wednesdays this school year. Starting in January, I will be with Mrs. Powers' and your child every day! Today was overall a great day. This morning started out a little rough. During morning meeting, the students had some trouble staying focused and engaged. Have a discussion with your child this evening about what happened in morning meeting today. We had a flip-flop schedule this morning and started the day with writer's workshop. During writer's workshop, the students worked in pairs to create posters advertising our bake sale. Jada and Brian were involved in creating a commercial for the bake sale instead of a poster. Look for the commercial on the blog and webpage in the upcoming days. In celebration of Alexis' birthday, the students enjoyed hot cocoa with their snack this morning. During fundations, the students wrote a letter to Santa. Please ask your child for this letter as they brought it home with them tonight, if not it will be in their Friday folder. This afternoon your children worked cooperatively to earn an opportunity for success during reader's workshop! At the end of the day, we went to the library. If your child did not come home with two new books, it means that they did not return their books today. Tomorrow your child will be seeing the Vermont Symphony Orchestra perform at 1:30pm. Have a great night!

Sincerely,
Holli Pacitto
