We had a visit from a Santa Clara County Sheriff's deputy. One of our classroom parents was the high bidder at the Silent Auction. The student and one friend from the class got to ride to school in the Sheriff's patrol car. They brought donuts and the officer did a presentation for the class. He told them about his job and talked with the students about staying safe from strangers. Then the students got to see inside the patrol car. It was a fantastic learning experience for everyone. We are so thankful for the opportunity.
Students presented their own lessons on a self selected project this week. Three students presented the slides presentations they created on bats, deer, and coyotes. Two students taught different origami techniques. We learned to make notebooks, funny eyeglasses, hamburgers, and cookies. We had lessons in doing cartwheels, the splits, and tae kwon do. Our art lessons included painting a ladybug on a rock, coloring an American flag, and how to draw a dog. We had a math lesson on subtracting 4 digit numbers and a student read a story to the class and then checked for understanding by asking related questions. We learned to play soccer and basketball as well. We had a science lesson on how to grow a cherry tree and another science lesson on turning a solid and liquid into a gas and filling a balloon. We learned a number of new skills and gained valuable information. We had a visit from a Santa Clara County Sheriff's deputy. One of our classroom parents was the high bidder at the Silent Auction.
