Happy October to all,
Our Science unit on trees has brought us outside on campus as well as on a trip to the Berkshire Botanical Gardens. Thank you to all the parent drivers who helped make that trip possible.
The class has been working hard selecting and memorizing poetry for Grandparents/Friends day tomorrow. We look forward to welcoming all of our guests to our classroom.
In Social Studies class we have been working on making timelines of the most important events in our lives- learning how to put those events in chronological order and that each of our lives is our own history. We plan on having those completed before we visit Kimball Farms at the end of the month where we will learn the important events in the lives of the residents we meet there and create time lines with them. It is a very enriching project and the class has done some of their best work so far!
Thank you to all who placed book orders online and with us, we expect the books in next week and will send them home as soon as they come in.
We will need parent drivers again for our trip to Kimball Farms on October 23rd, leaving BCD at 1:00 and returning at 2:30. If you are able to help out, please let Natacha or Sarah know.
We are also planning a trip with the rest of the Lower School to the Mahaiwe Theatre in Great Barrington on the 21st. More info coming soon,
Finally, next week is Mountain Day (Thursday, October 15th) when the Lower School will hike in Kennedy Park in Lenox and share lunch and activities at the end of our trail. Again, a sheet with full information will be going home next week.
Enjoy the beautiful long weekend with grandparents, friends and family.
Best,
Katharine and Kay
