Cornwall News
February 16, 2024
Hello Cornwall School Families,
We had a fun night of Bingo last night. Thank you to all of you who were able to contribute prizes and/or join us. Mr. Hirsch hinted that we may have another Bingo night in the spring, so look for info on that in the future!
Read on for information on second grade, the solar eclipse, Town Meeting breakfast, and to see some photos from Bingo. As always, upcoming important dates are listed at the bottom of each newsletter.
I hope everyone has a good break next week!
Warmly,
Heather
Class Highlight - Second grade, Ms. Trudo
Second grade students have been using their research skills during our How We Organize Ourselves unit. Each student chose a food product to research and they then used EPIC Books to research their product of choice. Students demonstrated their knowledge by making “Infographics” and then using what they learned to write an informational writing piece!
In our measuring unit, students spent time learning how to measure using inches, feet and yards. We learned what it means to use realistic measuring tools to measure certain items we want to find the length of. We even made our own “inchworm” rulers!
Solar Eclipse
Get ready...a total eclipse is coming to Vermont on April 8, 2024! What you need to know:
- April 8, 2024 will be an early release day! We will end school early because parts of our district will be in totality (darkness) around 3:30pm and Route 7 is expected to be busy with tourists visiting our area for the eclipse. We will follow our usual early release schedule.
- Salisbury 4th grade teacher, Amy Clapp is leading the way in partnership with colleagues across our schools to plan fun eclipse activities for our PK-12 students leading up to the eclipse. Check upcoming principal newsletters for more details about activities students will be doing at school and things we to do at home.
- We have eclipse glasses for every ACSD student! These will come home closer to the event. Thanks to our Salisbury students for modeling them!
