The Colonial Fair is next Thursday from 8:20 am to 9:45 am and this is a great culmination that you do not want to miss!  The students have done an amazing job building their Colonial Store Fronts and creating their 14th Colony.  The parents are encouraged to come from 8:20 to 8:45 since this is a 'Parents Only Time' and it will be quieter.  From 8:45 to 9:45 other classes will be visiting so it may be hard to hear your child's presentation.  Of course you can come anytime  between 8:20 and 9:45.  The students should come dressed that day in their Colonial attire.  

   Thank you to those parents who have donated the $20 dollars for the 5 day Starbase trip.  If you have not donated this, please do so by February 14th.  Thank you!!   See the flyer that was sent home or read my blog below for more information about Starbase. 

  The students will have the option of passing out Valentine cards on the 14th.  If they choose to do this they need to make one for all 38 students in the class.  I sent home a name list in Take Home Thursday.  

   There will be no school on Monday, February 11th and Monday, February 18th.

  

STARBASE

Our 5th grade GATE classes have the wonderful
opportunity of going to the Starbase STEM Program
at the Los Alamitos Base.  This field trip will take place
on 5 different days at the Los Alamitos Starbase.
The students will participate in a variety of hands-on
activities.  These include robotics, engineering,
chemistry, mechanics, technology, navigation,
investigations, geometry, energy, matter, and much
more.

This field trip is free but we need to pay for the buses.  
In order to participate in this amazing experience,
we are asking parents to donate $20 dollars each
to cover the cost of the buses.  We will only be
able to go to Starbase if we get this donation.  
Thank you so much for making this experience
a reality for the students.

Please send in the donation by February 14th.

Thank You for your support!
