CATCHING UP WITH... Mrs. Edmonston
It's been another fantastic week at Canyon View Elementary School. Here are just a few highlights:
On Wednesday morning, our fourth graders visited West View to learn about fifth grade orchestra and band instruments. On Wednesday afternoon, fourth grade present their choral music program at a school assembly. On Thursday, fourth grade performed this program for parents. Also this week, we will held orientations for our incoming TK and Kindergarten families.
We are looking forward to the week ahead. We have the Memorial Day holiday on Monday. On Wednesday, Team CV is hosting the Volunteer Brunch in the MPR. On Thursday, we have two fieldtrips! Our TK and Ms. Marty's class will head to Oma's Farm while our first grade visits the Zoo. On Friday, we end the week with a third grade fieldtrip to H&M Landing. What a week!
Let's Make it a GREAT week!

Kindergarten learned about different forms of energy and build wind mills that demonstrate mechanical energy.

Too Many Mangos, written by Tammy Paikai, illustrated by Don Robinson
Namaste is a Greeting, written by Suma Subramaniam, illustrated by Sandya Prabhat
What is namaste? It’s found in a smile, a friendship, a celebration. It exists in silence; it can be said when you’re happy or when you’re feeling low. For one small girl in a bustling city, namaste (“I bow to you”) is all around her as she and her mother navigate a busy marketplace—and when she returns with a little plant and chooses to give it to an elderly neighbor, it can be seen in the caring bond between them. This sweet, colorful picture book makes the concepts of mindfulness and thoughtfulness come alive.
How to Solve a Problem: The Rise (and Falls) of a Rock-Climbing Champion, written by Ashima Shiraishi, illustrated by Yao Xiao
To a rock climber, a boulder is called a "problem," and you solve it by climbing to the top. There are twists and turns, falls and scrapes, and obstacles that seem insurmountable until you learn to see the possibilities within them. And then there is the moment of triumph, when there's nothing above you but sky and nothing below but a goal achieved. World-champion climber Ashima Shiraishi draws on her personal experiences to tell a story that challenges readers to tackle the problems in their own lives and rise to greater heights than they would have ever thought possible.
