April 1st News!

Hello! Another busy week here at school! We've been reading a book called The Dragonling. It's about land far, far away where the coming of age ritual involves going on a dragonquest. The young boy in the book is a bit jealous when his older brother brings home the dragon...until that night he goes out to see the slain dragon and finds...a dragonling! He has a very difficult decision to make! Our class drew and painted dragons of their own and then wrote stories about their dragons. You'll see the paintings and hear some of the stories below.


The Secretary of State of Vermont is holding a poster and essay contest for school age children with the theme "Vermont Symbols" such as the state flag, state flower, state bird, etc. Each child in our class created a poster using one or more Vermont symbols. The art work and creativity is evident!
