Dear Room 12 Families,
I cannot believe our 3rd trimester has began and
that Spring Break is just around the corner.
Thank you again to all of the drivers who made our trip to
NASA possible. Again I am sorry there
was a restriction on the number of adults.
The kids did an amazing job there and learned a lot!!!
We have been busy working on persuasive writing. Students should all have chosen their topic
and had you sign permission to research for their topic (there is a copy of the
that my blog). This piece of writing
will be done entirely in class! We will
be also working in the computer lab on powerpoint or prezi presentations to
accompany our letters/essays.
Reminders
Monday, March 25th
= Field trip to Cabrillo Planetarium
We will be leaving
Mar Vista to walk to Cabrillo at 12:50 (chaperones please meet in Room 12 by
12:45). Wear comfortable shoes, we will
be walking!!!
Chaperones: Julie, Leila/Billy, Melissa, John/Rena, Rich, Jeanne/Sean
There is plenty of space on this
walking trip… feel free to join us!
Spring break = 4/1 – 4/5

Persuasive Writing Publishing
Party
in room 12, 11:45-12:25 (Wednesday the March 27th)

O’neill Sea Odyssey
This is another limited adult
event. You are welcome to drive to the
trip and meet us for lunch, but I am only able to have 8 adults (in addition to
myself) come on this trip.
We currently have enough
drivers…official chaperone list coming soon.
*If you would like to drive but
not go on the boat portion of the trip… please let me know.
Food: Please make
sure your child has a good breakfast the morning of the trip. We will be very busy and working until about
11:30. Bring a lunch from home because
we will be eating on the beach.
Clothing:
Please dress comfortably and bring a warm jacket (hat and gloves on colder
days). It is usually cold on the ocean, even on sunny days, so be prepared and
wear layers. Life vests will be provided. You may want to bring sunscreen and
sunglasses.
Shoes:
Soft-soled, non-skid shoes are required! Dress shoes, platforms, sandals, high
heels or slick soled shoes are not allowed. They are unsafe and you will be
asked to remove them. Please wear sneakers or other practical shoes.
Wish list…
*White board markers (thin ones for students to use on white
bards) Thank you to all who continually
support this cause (Abby L, Cameron, Melissa…just to name a few J)
Thank you ,
Mrs. Sara Thorington
