Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you for coming Thursday night to see and celebrate your student's work.  Hopefully you were able to make it to the 3rd annual Bug Broadway Bonanza.  The kinder bugs did an impressive job of educating everyone about why a bug is helpful or harmful to our farm.

 

 

When we return on Monday kinder will be starting a new project focusing on the forces of motion.  This project will include an at home family piece.  The culmination of our “Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions” project will be a winter holiday parade with floats made by kindergarten engineers. Each kindergartener and their family will sketch, build, test, improve and communicate about a holiday float that represents a family’s holiday traditions. This float must be able to move around the whole school campus at a parade on Wednesday, December 21. More information is in their Friday folder.

 

 

We also have an exciting fieldtrip to go along at the 49ers Museum at Levi Stadium.  This is a trip we applied for last year and got on the waitlist for this year.  They have just given us a date of Dec. 6. This is unfortunately a minimum day and we will have to leave school by 7:45, but it is an opportunity we could not pass up.  We are very limited on the number of chaperones that may attend.  We will be selecting those that can take 4 or more students and already have fingerprinting and driver paperwork on file in the office. If you plan on driving you own student, you will need to drop them off and then return at 2pm to pick them up. In today’s Friday folder is the trip permission slip.  There are 2 separate places on the form that you must sign.  There is also a separate consent form from the 49ers that also must be read, signed and returned.  All attendees, students and adults must have the signed form in order to attend. More details to follow.

 

 

Thank you for all the wonderful book donations from the Scholastic book fair.  Every dollar you spent goes towards improving CSMH.  Even though the fair was packed up today you still have an opportunity to shop.  For the next two weeks the online store will be open and CSMH will continue to get credit. Go to scholastic.com/bookfair . Your child’s wish list is in their Friday folder in case you haven’t seen it.

 

Have a wonderful week off!
