Dear Families,
We had a great time on our field trip to see The Cat In The Hat. We will have two more field trips this school year, one to the De Anza Planetarium, and another to YSI and Vasona in the spring.
Don’t forget to register for the Alta Vista Walkathon. Even if you can’t make it that day, your child will receive a t-shirt with a $50.00 donation. The t-shirts are usually passed out in class on the Friday before the event. So far we have 9 friends from Room 1 signed up! Altavistawalkathon.dojiggy.com
We have two fun projects that we need parent help with on Friday, October 4th.
At 9:30 we will be creating Cardboard Challenge projects in the Makerspace. We would love 5-6 or more parents to help with cutting cardboard and using the hot glue guns.
At 1:00 we will be working on our first Clay project for the school year. We would love 5-6 parent helpers for prepping, guiding, and help with clean up.
Additionally, we would love your cardboard donations for our project in the Makerspace. Boxes the size of shoeboxes are perfect. Your child will be bringing home their creations that day.
Please remember library books for Thursday.
Have a wonderful weekend.
