Ohhhh Common Core...Math Night Thursday at 5!
Parents are invited to Math Night this Thursday. A representative from the District will talk about Common Core math from 5:00-6:00 in the auditorium, then teachers will have break-out sessions in their classrooms to talk about topics specific to each grade (from 6:00-7:00). Come hear about your student's current math or get ready for the math that's coming up next year. 1st grade for us will be in B1/B2.
Childcare is provided.
Since kids will be coming, we'd like to feed them first. If you can help out with a potluck from 4:30 - 5:00, please sign up for a dish, beverages, or serving items here:

Spring has sprung and the butterflies are back!
On Friday afternoon you may notice quite a few guests in our kids' classroom.
The butterflies are back kids will be getting a ring-side seat to the beauty of metamorphosis!
They will be delivering butterfly larvae to all of the tk, kinder, 1st grade so they can learn about the life cycle of a butterfly.
It should be really cool, and the larvae/caterpillars/butterflies will be in the classrooms the whole time. Once the caterpillars become butterflies, we'll be having a butterfly release party, exact date to be decided (by the butterflies!). This will be a great experience for our kids, we'll keep you posted on how the metamorphosis is going!

SCHOOL EXPERIENCE SURVEY
These surveys are SUPER IMPORTANT!!
The school district distributes the School Experience Survey to all parents, students (grades 3 and up), and employees each year. The survey is used to collect feedback for schools from the entire school community to inform their planning for next year. Your voice matters, and that's why your participation is important.
We are looking for 100% participation so please return your form online or in the envelop provided by April 10. You can send it home with students or hand them in to the office. Or use this online form along with the code printed on the survey that was sent home by teachers:http://notebook.lausd.net/portal/page?_pageid=33,1052381&_dad=ptl&_schema=PTL_EP
Help us reach at least 80% participation and Mr. Pannell will give the kids an extra recess and popsicles!
We can do it! If you didn't receive a survey please check with the office. Thank you for your cooperation!!
