"Have You Seen the Owl Today?"
Welcome to the Union Elementary Wise Owl! We hope that you enjoy this new way of learning what's going on at UES!
BRAIN BREAKS!
All of us are wired to move and learn through moving our bodies. One way to take care of ourselves is to schedule a "Brain Break" movement every day! Here is one designed for our 3rd to 5th graders:
COMMUNITY SERVICE UPDATE!
Check out this update from Marlie and Sienna in Ms. Pine's class: "Ms. Pine's 3rd grade class went to VCIL (Vermont Center for Independent Living) to pull weeds. It took three groups just to do one flower bed! They are going to make raised beds and plant flowers in the spring. There were five groups, but it still took about an hour. We pulled weeds around the building and one group cut down some trees. They invited us in for a big snack. We learned that people with disabilities can do many things. We got pins and water bottles. It felt really good to help our community."
Well done, everybody! Check out this space throughout the year to see what other classes are doing in the community!
PICTURE DAY!
Picture Day is Thursday, September 26! Children will be coming home today with order forms for the pictures, and we ask that completed forms are returned to teachers no later than Wednesday, September 25. Thank you!
