Even with Wednesday off to honor our veterans, it was another busy week here at Gildersleeve!
On Tuesday, we welcomed Connecticut author Adam Wallenta, who spent time with our students sharing his writing process and showing off his amazing artistic talents. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn from a local author and artist!
We also came together at the end of the day for a special Veterans Day tribute. Miss Brede’s class recited a poem, and students proudly wore red, white, and blue while sharing photos of the special veterans in their lives. It was a meaningful way to recognize those who have served and to help our students understand the significance of Wednesday's day off.
Finally, as the temperatures begin to drop, please remember to send your children to school with appropriate outdoor gear to keep them warm. We try to get outside for recess whenever weather permits, and we want everyone to be comfortable and ready to enjoy that time outdoors!
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!
