I still think it will be nice most of the time but, as of today, there is a 70% chance of rain in Bonsall on Wednesday night. Now, students should bring a rain jacket and ball hat. It will be still be in the 70's but we might get a little wet. They have a large horse arena that is used for rodeo's so if there is rain many activities can move inside.

Disney offers a "Youth Education Series" that explores the Golden State--California. Seeing how your student is studying various aspects of California and westward expansion, we thought this would be a fun educationally-based trip to take. You can take a look at the program overview by searching disneyyouth.com. The program closely aligns with many California learning standards, which are listed on the website. This requires your quick attention. Please click the link for all the details. Attention Parents! Here's an easy way to make some quick cash: We have begun our word of mouth campaign and our referral program. $500 off tuition for each paying child they bring to the school. We have begun a new Math unit. We are relating two-dimensional shapes to their understanding of multiplication. They will make models of figures to explore area, and how it relates to the side lengths of a rectangle. In Reading, students will continue to read closely to catch key details and develop hunches, suspicions and predictions in this foundational skills unit: Mysteries. They will become more skilled at gathering information from text by rereading and annotating; transferring what they learn to other types of fiction. In Writing, we will develop persuasive speeches and editorials in our unit: Saving the World. We will get others to act on causes and may create speeches, petitions, editorialize, and collaborate together on projects. Please give a warm owl welcome to our new student Leah!We have started a new unit in Science: The Sun, The Moon and The Stars. We will use a variety of tools to observe and record phenomenon to study the moon and the sun's positions in the sky.

MAP Testing: The best way to help your student prepare for MAP testing is a healthy breakfast and plenty of sleep the night before. Math Workshop: We are starting a new module in measurement. See the Math page for more detailed information and for tips on how to support your child’s learning at home. Reading Workshop: Students have become comfortable in their reading lives. Now we begin the deeper mind work and thinking that make reading so special and enjoyable. Students are focusing their efforts on asking themselves questions as they read, like who is in the story, and what is happening? Students are deciding whether the text is prompting them to make a movie in their mind, or if they should be making a mental list of important information. Writing Workshop: We are preparing for our next unit: The Art of Information Writing, youngsters write chapter books that synthesize a wide variety of information and learn to section their topics into subtopics. They are supported in this challenging work because they are writing about topics on which they have firsthand, personal knowledge: dogs, soccer, gymnastics. Students shared their published personal narratives with Grade 2. What an amazing group of writers! |
