<br />
Wow!<br />
It has grown so much. I am sure that all of our students have grown over the summer too. I am working on putting my room together while I anticipate all of the changes that have happened over the summer.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to seeing you all next Wednesday, August 29, 2018. <br />

<br />
How is your summer going? It was so great to walk down the hall in the school today and see so many kids excited to check out books from the library after the "Read with Me" time that Mrs. Shannon held today.<br />
<br />
So far this summer, I have seen Veazie students reading with younger kids, practicing their coding skills at Coding Boot Camp in June, and harvesting some of the wonderful vegetables that were planted by Mrs. Kimball's class and the Spring Friday FLEX group.<br />
<br />
IXL minutes are stacking up. Great job and keep going!<br />
<br />
Remember to log in to the Scholastic Reading Challenge and record those minutes as well.<br />
<br />
Have fun, go places, and...enjoy your vacation!!<br />
<br />
:)<br />

<br />
As I get ready to go off to summer vacation, it has warmed my heart to hear students and parents asking "Are you going to plan some summer stuff?"<br />
<br />
Yes!<br />
<br />
This year, we are focusing on kids being able to learn wherever and whenever they can. We really hope that they will pick up a book, have fun playing and exploring outside, keep a journal of all their adventures, and...on those times that they are able, get in some IXL practice.<br />
<br />
<br />
Everyone's IXL usernames and passwords will stay active. I will post activities here that we are doing as a group this summer and EVERYONE is welcome. I love to see all of your faces over the summer.<br />
<br />
Mrs. Shannon is running 8 days of activities in the Library this summer. Coding Camp will be happening this summer! Sign up sheets are available in the office.<br />
<br />
Keep checking back for more information about our summer plans.<br />

Hello everyone!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a beautiful day. We are working through our last week of Summer Learning in the Greenhouse.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
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.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After you read, you may want to write as well.</div>

This week, Mrs. Frazier and the VSLE students are taking on the "Exact Instructions Challenge". Each student will write the instructions for building a banana split. Mrs. Frazier will then make a video using the EXACT INSTRUCTIONS given for making the banana split and share it here for everyone to see.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Mrs. Frazier will have access to the following supplies:<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />vanilla ice cream<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />chocolate ice cream<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />spoons<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />ice cream scoop<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />spray whipped cream<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />chopped walnuts<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />a jar of cherries<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />chocolate sauce<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />bananas</div>

You have written instructions for the banana split challenges.....Videos are coming soon, I promise! :)<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />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. <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />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.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Have fun with it!!</div>

Describe a scene that shows what it was like the last time you heard your favorite sounds.<br />

I would bet that we are all looking forward to summer. The nice weather has finally arrived and it takes our thoughts to swimming and playing outside. The other thing it takes my thoughts to is...Veazie Summer Learning. It's time to register and let us know that you would like to be part of the fun this summer.<br />
<br />
This summer we will be working on our school garden as well as spending some time exploring and creating with our 3D printers and our LEGO robotics kits.<br />
<br />
Check the links to the right side of the page to fill out your registration forms.<br />
<br />
Look forward to seeing you all back here soon!<br />
<br />
Happy last week of school!!<br />

<br />
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!!<br />
<br />
We have some exciting things happening here in Veazie this summer.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
We are MAKERS here in Veazie! We are CREATIVE! We are EXPLORERS!<br />
<br />
To go with this, our theme this summer is "Ready, Set, Grow!!"<br />
<br />
We are going to keep track of IXL and Prodigy minutes as well as Reading minutes. We will have a journal project as well. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
More news to come in the brochures that will be going home soon!<br />
<br />
See you soon!<br />

For me, this is my FAVORITE time of year! I love the heat. I love being able to swim, going to the beach, eating something off the grill or from the ocean, and listening to the outdoor concerts that happen in the town I live in all during the summer.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">Writing Journals</span></div>
<br />
I have enjoyed reading the Writing Journals this week. Veazie Community School is full of talented writers!<br />
<br />
The Writing Journal for this week is posted in Google Classroom. The prompt is an author's choice based on the title I used for today's blog. Somewhere in the written piece, the sentence "Oh my, it's hot!" needs to appear. The style of writing is up to each individual. I hope they have fun with it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">Summer Reading Challenge update</span></div>
<br />
We are logging minutes like crazy! The school is up above 24,000 minutes read this summer! Great job everyone! Please remember that this challenge goes all the way through September 9!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">IXL update</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
We had students practicing EVERY day last week! Including the weekend days! That is impressive.<br />
<br />
<br />
Have a super week everyone! <br />

<br />
We are all happy to have this break! While we are on break, we can still be learning and earning chances to win some very cool prizes. Here's how:<br />
<br />
IXL. <br />
<br />
This is a great way to keep up practice on Math and Language Skills. Each student has a unique username and password. You don't even have to keep track of how long you are on, the computer will do that for you! For every hour that you are logged in to IXL, you will earn one raffle ticket.<br />
<br />
Reading<br />
<br />
Read to yourself, read to someone else, have someone read to you...it ALL counts!! Veazie Community School has entered the Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge for the first time, this year! We will be competing against several schools within Maine as well as others from around the United States! Just simply use the link on this page, put in your username and password and log those minutes! For every hour that you log reading (or being read to), a raffle ticket will go in to the drawing with YOUR name on it!<br />
<br />
Writing<br />
<br />
There are two ways to earn tickets here. New assignments will be put here as blog posts and on Google Classroom as assignments. You can either keep a writing journal in hard copy (paper) form or, you can log in to Google Classroom and work on your writing journal there. To log in to Google Classroom, click the link to the right and look for the + sign in the upper right hand corner next to your email address. Join the class by using the classroom code. Our classroom code is i93co4. <br />
<br />
You can do this anywhere. You can do it while you are home, at camp, in the car, or anywhere else you might choose. The choices are yours! <br />
<br />
If you need more help, please email me at tfrazier@veaziecs.org<br />

Happy Summer!!Mrs. Frazierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02514341039533244020noreply@blogger.com0
