Hi All,

I hope you've had a great weekend!

While many members of the class have finished testing, we will still spend 1 or 2 more blocks of time dedicated to this activity. Students have been reading as they complete testing, and on Friday worked on an assignment in our Google Classroom (a network exclusively for students and teachers). Kids will also have more time on the Chrome Books for this assignment during the day.  The assignment is due for all on Wednesday, so if your child says that he/she is still actively testing, please allow some screen time at home to complete this assignment. During these remaining weeks of school I will be assigning various work to complete and submit digitally, through our Google Classroom.

The other big focus for homework is completion of the Science Fair project. This homework is due on Friday, May 8th. Students should have their full written project, as outlined in the handout sent home 2 weeks ago. I'm looking forward to seeing their experiments, and hearing their presentations during the week of May 11th.

On Friday, we'll be visiting Cabrillo College for our field trip. I need  a second form ( from Cabrillo) as well as the signed permission slips ASAP. I'll send home Cabrillo's form Monday. I'd also like one more chaperon. Try to get these forms in Tuesday.

This week our class is also beginning a 4 week Geology class, presented by Learn to Discover.  We'll begin on Monday, but the class is normally scheduled for Friday.

Thanks, and have a great week,
Carroll Mayer
