Community member and RES parent Paige Kaleita visited a fourth grade Enrichment Library class on November 5. Ms. Kaleita designs advertisements for a living, and she came to talk with students about the advertising strategies she uses when she creates ads for her clients. Students analyzed some of her ads and identified what made them effective. Then she looked at the ads the students had created and gave her professional opinion on their strategies and effectiveness. Thanks very much Ms. Kaleita for sharing your expertise with our students!

RES fourth graders were featured on Vermont Public Radio on February 8, during Vermont Edition at noon and 7 p.m.! They were interviewed in January for the VPR radio program Dorothy’s List , about the children’s books nominated for the Dorothy Canfield Fisher award. Every month Dorothy’s List features a different title, and RES scholars were interviewed about El Deafo , an award-winning book written and illustrated by Cece Bell. VPR reporter Amy Noyes interviewed our scholars as they discussed El Deafo, and she also recorded the fourth graders’ questions for the author. You can listen to the recorded show any time online at the Dorothy's List podcast.

First and second graders are enjoying this year's Red Clover books in the RES library. Named after Vermont's state flower, the Red Clover Award is Vermont's children's choice award for picture books. Every year, a group of teachers and librarians puts together a list of 10 fiction and nonfiction Red Clover books. Students who read or listen to at least five titles from the list get to vote on their favorite book. Their votes, along with votes from students all over the state, help choose the Red Clover Award winner. Since the Red Clover award is a student choice award, students are asking the questions: do I like or dislike this book, and why? What specific details in the text or illustrations make me think this book is interesting or boring, beautiful or ugly, serious or funny? We began this week with The Princess and the Pig by Jonath a n Emmett, which most students liked because of funny details in the words and pictures. Ask your childre

  Good afternoon almost 5th graders!  Good afternoon family, friends, teachers, and well wishers.   We are here today to celebrate the growth and accomplishments of these fine students.  And it has been an honor to teach them for the past couple of years.  This group of kids will always be near and dear to my heart because we went through two and half years of covid together.  And they have shown such resilience, empathy, and grace, far more than most adults that I know. I appreciate my time with them and look forward to what they will do in the future.   Well, my darlings, you are about to head into middle school.  And with any change, it comes with excitement and anxiety.  This change might be wonderful or it might be a challenge, or most likely a little bit of both.  But I assure you that you have the tools to navigate this change with the same resilience, empathy, and grace you have shown during our covid years.   The proof is right here.  This is our speaking stone.  It was first
