April 9, 2020


Hello Everyone!

It has been so nice to see the sun these last few days! I have finished pruning our blueberry orchard and the seeds I started inside are all up and thriving. I have been staying active and "busy" but I am really beginning to miss my classroom, my friends, and our time together! 

Our Zoom meetings have been so fun and I like how that platform connects us together. I look forward to the day when we all can be at a meeting together! It has been fun to have guest appearances from some of our special's teachers, too! 

Please let me know if you are having trouble with any of the Padlet activities and please make sure you are watching our new mission to Borneo with Beth and Curtis! (Safe links to their videos and the livestream where Sample'sScientists have asked their questions are on the Padlet- Go2Science column-last column to the right...)

Talk to you soon! 
Sarah (Mrs. Sample)

Hi Everybody!

It has been a super busy week for me here at home! I have been working on getting our next Go2Science Mission ready in order for us to head to Borneo on Monday!!! Just to be clear, Beth and Curtis aren't still in Borneo. They are safe and sound back here in Maine. They filmed the mission back before Christmas, but now we can watch their adventures and participate in the live stream!

How that will work is I will release their video on Mondays and Wednesdays onto Padlet. I will take questions you want answers to on a Flipgrid and then on Tuesdays and Thursdays I will ask your questions on their livestream. Beth will then send me a link to the livestream I participated in and I will share that with you so your questions can be answered! I hope it all goes like that! Fingers crossed!

I have been planting many different kinds of vegetables this week and last~some of them are growing very quickly! Have you planted any seeds yet?

Next week will start our 2 Zoom Rooms a week. I want to try for the month of April to have a Zoom Playdate on Tuesdays at 10am and on Thursdays at 5pm.  Even during vacation week. I feel that will offer more choices for those of you who are still working. I'm willing to give it a try! I'm also inviting our specials teachers and even some surprise guest appearances to join us at those times!

I miss you all~ Be well and remember...I'm right here if you need anything at all!!! Sarah
