Congratulation Linsey!

Linsey applied for a grant from the American Heart Association Teaching Gardens Network. Applications were received from schools all across the country and she was one of 40 selected for the $2,000 grant!! The grant is provided to boost garden based learning to support healthy food access and innovation in nutrition education.



If any other teachers want to sign up to co-teach a few lessons in the garden this semester, they can either Linsey know or reach our to Farmer Kim at farmerkimaman@gmail.com


1st grade is already signed up! Great job 1st grade!

Notes from Selena....


Don't forget - MOY DRA is optional; however, if you would like to have your students tested, please let me know, and I will start pulling them to test at the end of next week so that you have updated scores. The district has not yet said if EOY will be optional, so if it is mandatory, this may help for that as well as placement in groups. This is for face-to-face students only.



Thanks to Ms. Davila for starting sticky notes with parts of speech on the fill-ins by the cafeteria! If everyone will continue to add words next week, on Friday, I will choose words to complete it. Afterward, I’ll read the newly created story to the school. Feel free to take pictures to have virtual students join in as well if they would like. For the next story, I can create a virtual one!
