Our third graders headed to today to explore and compare the first and pond habitats.

Thank you so much to for supporting hands-on a STEM learning! And thank you to the kindergarten and second grade teachers who made this event possible.

Second grade students have been visiting all different locations around Burlington, exploring the important work the happens there and interviewing the workers. They recently visited the Post Office and got a behind the scenes tour. Mr. PK, a life long stamp collector, visited the classroom before hand to wax poetic about the postal system and share some of his collection.

As part of their place based exploration of the jobs unit, our second graders recently headed to at Hula Lakeside. There, they got a behind the scenes look at what it takes to run a café. Thank you so much Preppi for hosting us!

Coming up soon! We hope you can join us. 🥞

Recently, we were lucky enough to get to host the incredible harpist, Marie Hamilton . She spent the day at our school in music class, playing for and teaching many of our students. Thank you so much, Marie! 🪉

Artist in Residence, Erok, worked with our 2nd grade class to culminate our bug study! Both classes worked with Mr. PK and Erok to paint several new bug members of our meadow mural. This residency is a collaboration between Erok, SA and IAA made possible by the Vermont arts council. We are excited to see pictures from the IAA etymologists and their bug mural.
