21st Century Learning for Pre-K-8 in Shelburne, VT
Vermont Day School was excited to win the “Maker of the Year” award at this year’s Champlain Mini Maker Faire for our innovative “Great Zucchini Race “activity. Visitors to the activity were challenged to create an ergonomic vehicle out of a zucchini, using wheels, axles and other materials, ranging from pipe cleaners to cardboard and feathers to duct tape. The vegetable vehicles then raced down a 10 foot ramp.

During this year’s first all school assembly of the year, students continued our tradition of creating a time capsule for the school year. Each student added “all about me” information, as well as a string to represent their height at the start of the school year. We’ll look forward to finding the time capsule at the end of the school year and seeing our growth (both literally and figuratively!).
