A Visit To The Public Library

Posted on by Standard Respond

This week the students in Division 9 will be participating in a field trip to our local public library. We’ll be getting a tour of the library, learning about the Summer Reading Program, receiving our new public library cards, and having time to take out books.

Students need to bring:

  • a booster seat
  • a cloth bag to carry their library books and new public library card

I would like to ask that students don’t take out more than five books and not to take out books on their new public library card for a classmate. The parent drivers need to meet in our classroom at 12:00 p.m. on the day of our field trip. A special thank you to the parent drivers who made this field trip possible.

A Beautiful Day at the Beach

The students participated in a low tide walk in the intertidal zone. They saw Dungeness crabs, a Red Rock crab, Purple Shore crabs, Hermit crabs, Periwinkle snails, Ochre sea stars, Bristleworms, Barnacles, Sea Anemones, Heart Cockle clams, Mussels, Limpets, Sugar Kelp, and Rockweed. The weather was perfect and the students learned a lot from the park interpreters. Thank you to all of the parent drivers who made this field trip possible.

Happy Mother’s Day

The students in Division 9 have been working on a Mother’s Day gift, and hopefully, they’ll be able to keep it a secret, so they don’t spoil the surprise. They’ll be bringing home their gift this Friday. Have a nice weekend.

Indoor Rock Climbing

Posted on by Standard Respond

This week the students in Division 9 are going on their first field trip of the year. They are participating in an introduction to the sport of indoor rock climbing. They should wear loose clothes, that provide lots of movement and are easy to climb in, have a good pair of runners that tie up tightly, and a water bottle. I’m sure it will be a fun learning experience. Thank you to all the parent drivers and to everyone for returning all of your forms.

Comet 2022 E3 (ZTF) hasn’t been this close to Earth since the last Ice Age and the time of the Neanderthals which was about 50,000 years ago. On February 1st it will come to within a distance of 42 million kilometers of our planet. It’s difficult to see and you need binoculars or a telescope.

Just a friendly reminder that all students need a Christmas hat. On Friday the students will be having a pancake breakfast in the gym. I hope all of the families in our class have a relaxing, fun, and safe Winter break.
