Kids are having fun with D-cells, wires, and lightbulbs.  We'll be making motors run, learn about conductors and insulators, and get to make electomagnets.

Don't be surprised if your little one is out in the yard digging for pill bugs.  We are conducting an experiment on preferred environments with plants and animals.  They have gotten very into darkling beetles and pill bugs.  These bugs don't jump, run, bite, or sting.  Enjoy, MA

We've started a new science unit with terrariums to learn organism tolerance!
I've challenged the class to try some planting at home, so don't be surprised if they ask you to buy some seeds from the grocery store.

Drivers and chaperones needed for our trip to La Purisima Mission.  Note that the school is on early dismissal that day, but we will be getting back close to 3:00.  Kids will need to be prepared for any weather and have a lunch.

Gift wrap is coming home on Monday the 3rd. 

This is a busy week so plan ahead for finishing books before the end of the first reading period.

Start the process of packing.  Be sure you have a big plastic trash bag (the black kind) and pull out the winter coat, hat and gloves.

Every Monday!! Bring shoes. See you there. MA

Lunch time sports have started with kids signed up to play the game of Ultimate.  We are playing with a ball instead of a frisbee. This is a fun game that highlights sportsmanship and cooperation.  We play games on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Parents, teachers will be doing training on Friday.  No school for students
