Ms.
Douglas's class is made up of 8 fifth graders and 9 sixth graders this
year. It's
pretty cool. This year is going to be
pretty different with two grades in our class, 5th and 6th. Ms. Douglas
is the coolest teacher in the world. Ms. Douglas is also very
interested in Vermont history.
She does a lot cool stuff with us
like taking us out for an extra recess at the end of the day. She is
very kind to us. She explains stuff to us when needed. She sometimes
plays games with us so we can stretch our bodies. Ms. Douglas can
not be beaten as the coolest teacher of the year.
This year
we have the opportunity to open our very own school store. It will be
so awsome! At Ms. Douglas's school store we sell school utencils and
fun
things like small toys such as Playdough, wooden creatures, and the
best part of the store is the prize of the month! Simply
explained, when you buy something we
put your name in once, and at the end of the month we draw a name
from a hat for a bonus prize. Our motto is unique, "Ferrisburgh Country
Store, where you'll find more of what your shopping for." We are really
looking forward to open this store.

the end of
September we
had 3 days of Paddling
Ecology. On the 3 days we had
paddling on the Lake, wetlands
discovery, and an ocean day here at
school. The first day, we got into canoes
and paddled down Little Otter Creek and we went into Dead Creek.
It was a lot of fun! On the second day we had the wetlands on the
Hatch's property. We had fun. We got to go in mud, you sank if
you stood
in one
place! On the third day we had ocean
day here at the school. We
did a whole bunch of activities on the ocean, lakes, and rivers.
It was 3 days of jam packed fun! It was so awesome!
Sometimes we do things as a team, the whale watch was a blast! The first Monday in October, we went on a whale watch with the whole team (5th and 6th grades). We had to get up around 4:00 am in the morning and be at the school at 5:15 am. We left around 5:30 am. We got to Rye, New Hampshire at 9:30 am, 4 hours later. The captain talked with us about safety rules for a minute and we loaded the boat. WOW! It was awesome! We saw about 100 dolphins! It was a huge excitement. Then we saw a Finback whale and another. after about going 30 miles out we saw a Humpback whale! Then we started coming back to shore and loaded onto the bus. We stopped to eat and returned home riding the bus for 4 hours and got to the school around 11:00 pm.
We know we are going to have an exceptional year because we have experienced all these great things so far and hope to do them again someday.We are also looking forward to having a lot of other experiences as a class. Mainly we have a great time because we work together and try to make the most of what we are planning to do and had already done.
