Dr. Robinson's 3-4 classroom blog from 2012-2016

The students in Dr. Robinson's 3-4 Team studied South Hero History for 6 years and took many field trips around town.
Click on this link to see where the students went around town and what townsfolk they met along the way.


Notice

At the end of 2018 Lake Champlain Access Television [LCATV] started filming our presentations. Their output is 2 to 4 times sharper than the videos I was putting up. That means it takes a little longer to get the video to start. [The reason I reduced the quality level of my videos.] Their production is different than mine and you will notice that immediately.
When you click on a video, it starts to load. It will take about 30 seconds [an eternity when you are waiting] to start playing. The speakers will start to sound and the video will look like it is not running for about 23 seconds. LCATV puts up an identification POSTER for those 23 seconds. Don't be alarmed, it is running if you can hear the sound.

SHHS Proudly presents: Sawyer Island by Members of the Farnham Family May 6th, 2016

Stratton’s book titled “History of The South Hero Island” informs us that back in 1786, Col. Ephraim Sawyer settled on South Hero’s west shore near what are still referred to as Sawyer Bay and Sawyer Island. About 100 years later, John J. Wright bought the nearby farmland and (“evidently” according to Stratton) they also bought the little island from Orange Phelps. Join us Friday evening May 6, 2016 as members of the Farnham family, who have owned the little island since the 1970’s, share more recent accounts of life and (in the case of some waterfowl) death, on Sawyer Island and Sawyer Bay, portions of South Hero’s “West Coast of New England.”
