Week of 3/16 Newsletter

Dear Families,

With just two more weeks to go before Spring Break, I have a few important updates and reminders. Firstly, report cards will be sent home on Monday. Please sign and return the empty envelope by Friday. Next, thank you to the parents who drove and chaperoned our field trip to the Tech Museum. We had a great time and learned a lot!

Thirdly, our participation in the Young Writers Project is coming to an end this week. I cannot even begin to describe how proud I am of each and every one of my students for their incredible poetry. We will celebrate with our Writing Project Assistants on Wednesday morning (9:30-10:15) with a few snacks and poetry readings. In May, we will have a portion of a professionally published book, released at both Bookshop Santa Cruz and Crossroads Books!

Mountain School has recently been Green School Certified and the student council has been working with teachers and staff to find out what that entails. On Tuesday, March 17, they will run an assembly (at 10:30) alongside Stew Jenkins, the education coordinator, to explain to the student body the details of our certification.

We have been working on a collaborative digital project with our buddy class, the first grade, and will finish it up this week with their play on Wednesday. It has been a wonderful way to demonstrate understanding of the classroom technology we have been using this year. As your child about it!

Finally, we will be working on reviewing math concepts this week so I will not be holding Homework Club. There is no school this Friday for a Staff Development Day, so please plan accordingly.

Thank you for all of your continued support both in the classroom and at home! We are so lucky to have such involved families! If you have any questions, please email me at rhonig@mountainesd.org.

Best,
Mrs. Honig
