Letter from Principal Haley |
Families and Community Members,
Mother Nature decided to throw us a curve ball this week by providing us with some warmer-than-normal temperatures! Most of us had thought it was time to put the shorts away! It looks like next week we will be back to more seasonable temperatures.
Expectations for behavior in any given place often need to be taught. At school, we develop expectations or agreements for behaviors each year with the students. While some may argue that students should know how to behave, the reality is that students have different expectations around behavior and responsibility at home. Explicitly teaching our expectations for school is an important part of developing a culture that supports students taking responsibility for their own behavior.
This year we have introduced three keywords that drive all of our expectations at school. These words are a play on the SES (Sharon Elementary School) initials. Our words are Safe, Engaged, and Supportive. For each area of our school and beyond (ie. classroom, field trips, playground, etc.) we are learning the expectations for behavior. We will hold students accountable for following these. Our hope is that by doing so, every student will feel safe, engaged, and supported. If your child is struggling to meet these expectations at school, I am happy to meet with your family so that we can work together on aligning home and school responsibilities.
Respectfully,
Keenan Haley

As third graders raced through the doors on the first day of school, I knew this crew would be up for adventures and challenges. I would like to highlight our first day in the woods. It started with a short bus ride up Fay Brook Road to the Ashley Community Forest. We got off the bus and the excitement was astounding. We had a “notice walk” and went over the rules of the woods. We learned to identify two species of trees; Sugar Maple and Locust. We then talked about what Vermont looked like 150 years ago. There were almost no trees and there were lots of sheep farms! We found bear scat, deer scat, deer tracks, an old well, an old hunter's cabin, and many cool bugs. We were all tired at the end.
We had a blast and are already excited about our next adventure in the woods.

We’ve been working on a lot of things in the Plaskov 4/5 class so far this year. We’ve done identity work. We did an iceberg, we talked about physical appearance and hidden parts of your identity. Then, we made a word art to show parts of our identity.
Another thing we’ve been working on is gathering ideas for things we are interested in learning.
In writing, we are writing stories. We can write about stories that happened or made up stories. We are trying to add details to our writing.
In reading, we started reading articles. This week the articles are about nature. Ms. Plaskov is reading Frindle to us.
