Week of April 17, 2017

We had a great field trip at Vasona-YSI this past week! I really appreciate our students and parents for being flexible on the two dates. The students had a hands-on introduction to physics. We were able to determine how Sound travels differently on/in different states of matter. We also learned about Motion and the force of flight by creating a paper airplane and paper rocket. We also walked around Vasona Park to complete a Visual Scavenger Hunt! A big thank you to our parent chaperones: Mrs. Ratinoff, Mrs. Gelonese, Mrs. Brehmer, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Chun, Mrs. Kasenchak, Mrs. Hew, and Mrs. Pregliasco!! We could not have done it without you!

I’m looking forward to the student’s Recycle Projects. If your child’s project is finished earlier in the week, feel free to bring it in before Friday. I will also attach the Recycle Project instructions to this email. We do not have a regular homework packet this week.

Friday, April 24th is Multi-Culture Night at Alta Vista, it is a great learning event for everyone. Many cultures and countries are represented through Alta Vista families. This event runs from 5:00-8:00.

The deadline for ordering yearbooks is May 5. The charge is $25 for hardcover and $20 for softcover. The website for online ordering is: altavista.picaboo.com

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
