Cooperation

Our monthly theme for March is cooperation.   One of the most exciting focal points in the current research is the impact of children learning from each other.  In order for this to be most effective, students need to practice the skills required to cooperate. These skills include advocate for one’s own perspective and ideas, listening and understanding another person’s perspective and evaluating possible outcomes of different actions.   We can help children develop this skill by practicing cooperation with them.  I’ve learned that when cooperating with children I need to be prepared for surprises!

Thank You!

Thank you all for your thoughtful comments and support as we approached our town meeting on Tuesday.  I was impressed with the entire process and hope you will consider sharing your skills and ideas on our special committee designed to consider options for meeting the ever increasing demands on both our children’s learning and taxes we pay. 

School Budget

The West Windsor Community passed the school budget for next year- We have a lot of work ahead of us at the state, federal and local level.  Please consider collaborating with us as we try to effectively  address the rising expectations of, not only student learning, but of individual's bank accounts.'  More to come soon!

Town Meeting- Your Voice, Your Vote

An original purpose of public education was to assure that the public was able to be informed voters! At Albert Bridge, we work with students to help them learn to assert their thinking and concerns in positive, productive ways. Parents can role model one important way this happens in Vermont culture by participating in the West Windsor town meeting and voting on Tuesday, March 4th at 9:00.  If you are looking for more information to be informed about the school budget, you can find it at the bottom of the Albert Bridge Home Page!

Winter Break

Winter break is a great time for being outdoors or just sitting next the fireplace with a good book!  Enjoy your time with family and friends.

Brownsville Community Friday Night Skating Parties have been a great place for us all to enjoy the beautiful Vermont winter!  Next Party is on Valentines Day; stop in for a cup of hot cocoa, lace up your skates and join in the fun!

Week Before Holiday Break!

Our week ahead is busy! With snow on the ground the kids are excited to be out an about.  Please remember to be safe and warm.  Snow pants are needed at school to be dry and comfortable for afternoon learning.
