Cuentos: Tales from the Latino World

David Gonzalez's Cuentos Tales from the Latino World

Cuentos paints a vivid picture of the people and rich cultures of the Spanish-speaking world with colorful tales from the Caribbean, South America, and the Bronx. From the silly antics of the Puerto Rican anti-hero Juan Bobo to the mysterious dealings and powers of the Orishas, these tales are filled with memorable characters, fantastic plots, and positive messages for children. Spanish language words are sprinkled throughout the stories and songs in such a way that young audiences can repeat and retain their sound and meaning.

Third graders will be visiting the Flynn on Monday, November 13th.  Permission slips came home today (Monday, 10/16) and need to be returned by Wednesday, October 25th.   

Read Books & Earn $$$

The State of Vermont, Office of the State Treasurer is once again offering the "Reading is an Investment" program for students in the state.  The theme this year is "Creative Ideas Pays Off" and aims to give students an overview of how entrepreneurs tap into their creativity and planning skills to achieve financial success.

The information for the program will be coming home with your students.  Many of the books highlighted on the money reading list that focus on basic financial concepts are available in the RES Library.  Students who read at least three books from the list and complete personal reading requirements can send a completed reading log to the Treasurer's office for entry in a statewide drawing for one of twenty $250 accounts in the Vermont Higher Education Investment Plan -- Vermont's official 529 college savings plan.

Teamwork: On the (Tennis) Court & Off

Last week, RES third graders visited the Burlington Tennis Club to try out all of our tennis skills on the clay courts!  We practiced our ball & racket handling skills, agility, serving, and our backhand and forehand shots!

Then, we traveled to Oakledge Park on Lake Champlain for a picnic lunch and an afternoon of cooperative games.  We all played "Giants, Wizards & Elves" and then had a choice of a scavenger hunt around the park or playing capture the flag.
