Community of Learners

We have had so much fun getting to know each other in Room 12. We are building a community of learners and friends in this classroom. They are truly a JOY to be with. I feel so lucky to have such caring and kind friends with me each day! It is now time to branch out and discover that beyond our classroom and school community we live the community of Colchester. Our next goal is to discuss the community we live in and to visit a few of these places. Today we went to Claussen's Greenhouse (next door)and picked out 12 pumpkins for each classroom at UMS. The UMS PTO has graciously agreed to pay for these. As a community member of a school we were able to help out other classrooms by delivering their pumpkins to them. We also got to see a business in our local community. The students felt so proud and excited to do this activity together and for our school.
