Wednesday we go to the Missisquoi Wildlife Refuge - if possible, students may want to wear pants instead of shorts (to avoid sun and insect problems); hats are welcome, and sunscreen may be used. Weather should be partly sunny and in the 70s.

On Friday we will have our Columbian Exchange Day.  Thank you for your help in supplying an Old World or New World food item!

Students have received progress reports from the Unified Arts teachers.  Please ask them about their progress reports.

Our learning community will be going to the Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge on Wednesday June 1.

Here are a couple of photos from our recent visit by Bird Diva Bridget Butler: students independently mapped the area around them as well as sounds, and they listened for natural and man-made sounds.
