Responses to Literature should be completed and turned in no later than Wednesday. Your child should not bring this home to work on; it's so natural for us to offer support and assistance, but for writing portfolio pieces, it is vitally important that the work is done entirely by the student.

Check out yesterday's blog for the Social Studies assignment for grades 5 & 6; my class completed it today and thought it was fun and informative. That's the whole idea! Grade 5 will work on this tomorrow.

Remember, no GVS this week since we have a short week.

Enjoy this beautiful evening!

IMPORTANT: I know a lot of you are interested in knowing about potential placement for your son or daughter next year. Normally, much of conference time is given to these conversations; unfortunately, I will be unable to provide much of any information THIS year. There are lots of rumors circulating about ways in which the middle school intends to restructure for the 2010-2011 school year.... Middle School folks have been meeting and exploring different configurations, but as of this moment, no determinations have been made. I was informed via email that they will let everyone know as soon as decisions are finalized. I encourage you to contact Peter Reynolds (preynolds@anwsu.org) or Jay Stetzel (jstetzel@anwsu.org) by phone (802-877-2938) or email for more information. Parent letters/questionnaires will hopefully go out in the next few weeks, at which point they hope to have more concrete information for all of us. Sorry, everyone; I'm out of the loop! In the meantime, if you'd like to get a flavor for what's happening down the road, check out this copy of VUHS Middle School News.
