Happenings: |
- Mr. Clifford is holding an apple bake sale on the porch of the Grafton Town Hall Sunday October 11th from 10AM - 3PM. 6th grade families are baking the goods, all food will be available for donation. The bake sale was a hit! The weather was beautiful, the Inn was busy, but most importantly people baked like crazy. We counted a record ammount of $1082, putting us a third of the way toward our Keewaydin Goal.

Energy Light, heat, and electrical are the three types of energy we'll be focusing on as we explore what energy is, how it behaves, where it comes from, and why we need it. Students will be reading nonfiction, conducting experiments and demonstrations, and creating a bank of questions about what
they have discovered as we learn all about energy.

Open Court Reading Open Court is a comprehension program that Grafton uses to help teach reading. Sixth graders will be working out of a theme based anthology while they work on comprehension skills, vocabulary, and fluency. Some of the Themes we'll be working on are: Perseverance,
Ecology, and Ancient Civilizations. |
Book Projects This year students in 4 - 6 will be working on book projects. An assignment will be due every 3 weeks. You can pull up the assignments and due dates as well as some of the criteria on our book project page. |

Mexico For our cultural study this year we'll be studying Mexico. Students will be responsible for creating a project as outlined by a checklist. You can
get this document in the additional links section of this site. Also, we'll be compiling resources, both books and web sites. To see our web site compilation, visit porta portal and sign into the guest field as scliffor. |
Young Writers Project We'll be doing some work with the The Young Writers Project, a web initiative inthe state of VT designed to get reluctant students writing. Through it's affiliation with the Burlington Freepress, students can be chosen to be published in the paper. Check out the
site here: http://grafton.ywpschools.net We recomend that families download and use Firefox rather than internet explorer for the young writers project. Firefox is free and in some ways a better browser than internet explorer. You can get it here. |
