Welcome to 2021-22!
Let's hope this year will bring solutions and relief!!
We will continue doing our best to reach our goals:
focus, ask questions, take notes, ask more questions, and stay curious!!
Thank you parents and guardians for checking (not correcting) that all work is done!
Work hard, then play hard!

Engineering is Elementary (EiE)
My goal is to move forward
with the teaching of the core curriculum and the 21st century skills
in project-based classroom
while implementing the first steps of STEAM
Sciences, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics.

Ways to enrich one's vocabulary and be successful on next Friday Quiz!
- Students practice with their flash cards once everyday
- Students practice with the Quia activities on the language arts page as often as necessary
If you want to see your child's latest scores, ask her/him to show you:
- comprehension tests will be on Readworks
- written work in Google Classroom: turned in (good work), or
missing/returned because it is incomplete or some modifications are needed
Please, ensure that your child is reading 4th grade books or articles EVERY DAY.
A Cat In The Hat, Dog Man, Diary of A Wimpy Kid, Dorky Diaries, or Captain Underpants
are surely NOT enhancing your child's education. The sentences and the vocabulary are very poor.
They can select books or magazines from the classroom or the school library. Once they start a book or an article, they must finish it (or return the book after reading it for five days)
Ask daily to read the sentence they selected and typed on their reading log.
Thank you!

Field Trips in a time without COVID!!
Tentative Schedule:
Sept. : Getty Center
Oct. : Malibu Creek - Calabasas
March: Natural History Museum: learning about Rocks (Earth Science + writing skills)
April: UCLA Engineering Kids Day
May: UCLA cub tour for 4th grade Honors Club (depending on funds)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Important information: Our school can only provide buses for one field trip.
Therefore, I applied for a few transportation programs offered
by various museums and centers around town. However, they provide us with only one bus;
this means that sometimes, there are no seats available in the bus
for chaperons who consequently have to drive.
In the past, chaperons would take turns and carpool.
Thank you for your understanding and your support.
