Class Notes (September 26-30, 2022)

Learning about invasive species at the Mile Around Woods…

Fifth and sixth grade students had the opportunity to learn about combating invasive species right here in their own backyard! Board member Becky Manning led the fifth graders to the Mile Around Woods to see the Brontosaurus machine in action while sixth graders diligently worked on a Vermont invasive species mini project. Students will apply the logistical facts they learned about the machine and the three weeks it has been at the Mile Around Woods to solve real world math problems next week.
