Last Thursday, our school divided into two exciting and enriching activities: 👇

While our K-2nd graders rolled up their sleeves at the New Village Farm in Shelburne, learning how to use tools safely, cutting brush to feed the goats, and discovering that wood whittling requires much more patience and focus than it looks, our older students (grades 3-6) headed in a completely different direction and traveled to Montpelier.

At the Vermont State House, they got a firsthand look at a real legislative session and saw exactly how decisions are made for our state. From there, they moved on to the Vermont History Museum, where they explored exhibits and traced how our towns and landscapes have transformed over the last 200 years through historical maps.

It’s always great to break the routine, but the best part is seeing them return at the end of the day tired, happy, and full of stories about learning experiences you can't get inside a classroom.

🏛️ Shelburne Museum: Ultimate Hands-On History.
​Our students spent the day exploring the Shelburne Museum as part of the Passport to Learning program, and it was an absolute blast. 🗺️✨
​They got to learn inside a real 1840s one-room schoolhouse, crack Morse code, try Lego printmaking, and figure out the mechanics of a massive steamship. 🚂🎨⚓
​We love seeing them so curious and connected to everything around them. Can we go back already? 🍁

Our 2nd-5th graders crushed it at the UVM gym today. Lots of energy and some great teamwork during dodgeball. It was a fun, competitive session, and they definitely gave it their all. 🏐⚡️
