Veazie Community School

If you missed Mrs. Shannon's Literacy and STEM program today, visit this website to listen to several read alouds and explore the Rock Cycle. Today we learned about the three different types of rocks, minerals, crystals, what geologists do, and the various rocks we have right here in Maine. Students who attended were most excited to head to their kitchens to make their own rock candy! During our hands on activity, we mixed different solutions to grow "Geodes in an Eggshell." Will sugar, salt or baking soda create the best crystals? We will continue to observe the "geodes" throughout the week and meet again next Thursday at 11am to see the results. https://bit.ly/vcslibrary

Maine illustrator Russ Cox met with Grade 6 today to share some of his work!! There are many budding artists in the group. This is an example of a one line drawing without lifting the pencil!! Smiles, questions and fun had by all!!

These two brothers (can't you see it in their smiles) have taken their remote learning to the lake! Go Vikings!

Lost and found items are neatly organized and placed under the entrance canopy. They will remain there until Friday afternoon and placed back outside on Monday. Items not claimed by the end of the day on Friday, June 5, will be donated to charity. Please take a look at these photos to see if you recognize anything. Thanks!

Dear VCS Parents and Caregivers, Please take a moment to complete the following VCS Remote Learning Survey. Your input and feedback will help to drive our end of year staff discussions, as well as future planning. It would be most helpful if the survey could be completed before Thursday, June 4. Thank you for your continued support! Survey link: https://forms.gle/ap1pmtCiEvST...​ Sincerely, Mr. Cyr

Grade 1 and 2 students had the opportunity today for a Lunchtime Story and STEAM activity. Students brought their lunch and ate as they listened to Mrs. Shannon read "Everything You Need for a Treehouse" by Carter Higgins, illustrated by Emily Hughes. After we discussed the blueprints of our treehouse designs, we participated in a directed draw from Art for Kids Hub and then added our own special features. We may have some future architects in this group!

Dear VCS Parents and Caregivers, please read our End of Year Details news article about upcoming activities and procedures: https://bit.ly/3g6jb7J
