It's like Christmas, it is so exciting!!
We are starting a new school year tomorrow.
Time to celebrate all of the great work you all did over the summer.
Bring in those Reading Logs!!
Mrs. Frazier will be making a list of all of the Reading Minutes, IXL minutes, and Prodigy minutes you have done over the summer.
Side Note:
Some of our 3D prints didn't come out as planned. Mrs. Frazier is going to work with Ms. Spinney to fix them so that everyone who came to Veazie Summer Learning has at least one 3D print of their own to show off!!
This summer was so fun! Thank you all very much!!

Summer Reading and Writing
Hello everyone!!
It is a beautiful day. We are working through our last week of Summer Learning in the Greenhouse.
Today, it seems like it would be a great day to sit under a tree and read a book. Keep up the reading! I look forward to seeing all of the minutes on the reading logs at the end of the summer.
After you read, you may want to write as well.
Here is this week's writing prompt.
(This writing prompt was first published on www.writersdigest.com)
Three Items to Escape and Save the President
You're a secret service agent and you've been kidnapped and are trapped in a basement. You have only three items and must use those three items to escape and save the President of the United States. Go!
I look forward to reading all of your wonderful stories.

Journal #3
You have written instructions for the banana split challenges.....Videos are coming soon, I promise! :)
Now, let's try something new. Write a "day in the life of" story using personification. This is when you give the characteristics of a person to something/someone who is not a person. For example, when you say the trees waved hello to them as they entered the forest. The trees moved but, did they didn't actually wave.
Your story should have a beginning-middle-end format. Length of the story depends upon you. No shorter than one paragraph, no longer than three pages.
Have fun with it!!

Ready..... Set.... Grow!!!
June 2017
We are gearing up for the summer break! You can feel it all around the school. Smiling faces, outdoor projects, and we can finally see the sun!!
We have some exciting things happening here in Veazie this summer.
We are going to continue to work with IXL this summer. We will also have Prodigy available to us. Many of the students have already started working with Prodigy and have loved it.
We are MAKERS here in Veazie! We are CREATIVE! We are EXPLORERS!
To go with this, our theme this summer is "Ready, Set, Grow!!"
We are going to keep track of IXL and Prodigy minutes as well as Reading minutes. We will have a journal project as well.
Along with these things, we are going to have time set aside every Wednesday to come in and be creative. We will be tinkering with many different things during this time. Some of the things we plan on doing include: robotics, 3D printing, computer coding, and gardening.
More news to come in the brochures that will be going home soon!
See you soon!
