We Are Back and Still Learning!
Hope you all had a restful break, it was fantastic to see our students smiling and ready to learn this week. These next three weeks before Winter Break will be filled with activities and interesting curriculum.
In Mrs. Daley's class students are working on their social studies Layer Project. Students are working in class and at home on their self selected assignments for Chapter 6. Please check in with your student to see how they are progressing on this project. The layer project will be due on Monday, December 12th. Also, AR points for the first part of trimester 2 are due by December 15th. Students need to have earned 20 or more points to earn full credit.
Thursday Folders went home today. Please check online for any missing assignments and record current grades inside the Thursday Folder.
In science we will be starting the 1-week Family Life unit next week. This is a good opportunity to have an open conversation with your child!
In Mrs. Kaneshina's class, student's will be designing their Atomic Attire t-shirts! Students are to research an atom and create a t-shirt featuring an atomic model, common uses and other interesting facts! This project will be due on December 20th. In math, we are starting the 2nd Volume of our text book. (Please keep 1st Volume and notes for reference!) We will be delving into geometry in the coming weeks!
As we look toward the months ahead, we will be collecting small toys and toiletries for less fortunate kids in Guatemala City to support the Center of Integral Attention for the Fortification of Families (CAIF) that works to educate children in need. We will also be supporting the American Heart Association with a Survivor Ball competition put on by our amazing PE staff. We also have a field trip to the California Science Center on Dec. 19.
