California Explorer Report

To culminate our study of California Explorers, your child will complete an at home research project, due April 23.  Your child will need to select an explorer from the list of Explorers that has been provided.  They will need to complete the Explorer packet and an Explorer Doll.  Your child will be expected to locate information for this project.

We have provided one resource for your child to use; http://factcards.califa.org/exp/expmenu.html. They will need an additional resource.  This can be from the internet or a book.  We ask that the research packet be completed with neatness, correct spelling, and punctuation.  The paper doll should also be completed with their best effort.  The doll should represent the explorer for what they accomplished ad/or where they came from.  Be creative and use a variety of materials when making your explorer doll!!

There will be two classroom check-ins, to make sure your child is working toward finishing the project by the due date.

April 11: Explorer is chosen

April 18:  Three of the six activities from the packet are to be completed

Important Information

 

Pick up and Drop off concerns

 Please make sure that you are following traffic laws and carpool procedures that are outlined in our Parent Handbook. Parents need to be respectful of our neighborhood and community while bringing students to school and modeling good citizenship for students.

  • Do not park in neighborhood driveways or block any section of driveways.
  • Do not move garbage cans to park, this causes neighbors to miss their garbage pickup.
  • Do not park in Sunrise/Shadelands staff parking or traffic circle to drop off or pickup.
  • Do not drop students off in street as this is dangerous.

To help with traffic, remember that supervision is provided starting at 7:45 am. and students may be dropped off then.

At Monte Gardens we work together, staff and parents, to help students succeed. Please continue to work with us and support our school by following procedures outlined above.

Exploratorium Field Trip  

 Exploratorium field trip scheduled on April 24. I am asking that all permission slips be turned in ASAP. Donation amount of $15 is still being accepted.  Students need to bring a sack lunch.  Parent Chaperone request forms will be sent home as we get closer to the field trip date. We are asking parents to carpool to the Exploratorium and pay $10 to cover the cost of admission.
