Who's Hungry?
Our Deep Hope is to hunger for God's Word, knowledge of his creation, and ways to serve in gratitude.

heLLo Parents,
heLLo Parents,
Happy New Year! I am excited to see the students again and catch up with them about their Christmas break!
This is a good time of year to check on school supplies. I know some students were running low on Expo markers. Please check with them about colored pencils, rulers, etc.
If your child has not brought in a tall sock for their recorder, please do so. They will be using this the whole second semester to identify their recorder. It can be old or new, cute or not!
On Monday, I will be taking some time to review classroom expectations with the students. As a reminder, Home Communication Cards (HCCs) are in effect. These are most often sent home for missing or incomplete homework, but they may also be used for behavior concerns if I or another teacher feels it is necessary. If your child receives an HCC, it must be signed and returned the following day. Five HCCs result in a lunchtime detention. Remember these are just a way of redirecting and helping each child grow and mature in certain areas, but also to keep communication flowing between school and home.
In about a month and a half (February 24th or 25th), our fourth graders will take part in Walk Through California. This is a fun, culminating project where students bring California history to life by becoming the people, places, and events they’ve been learning about. Parents are invited to come and watch the experience! - - I’ll be sharing your child’s exact date and time in the coming weeks. Here is a link to the website if you're interested in learning more about it.
Also, please mark your calendars for Tuesday, March 10. On this day we will leave very early in the morning to travel to Columbia, CA. This is about a 2.5 hour drive away. Columbia is a historic gold-mining town where the students can experience town life, panning for gold, and even experience a classroom from that time period. I hope you can join us for this fun day!
This week's code phrase: Happy New Year! (If your child whispers this to me on Monday morning he/she will get 2 DOJO points.)

HELLO!
HELLO!
What an honor to be a teacher here at CVC! I consider it a privilege to share God's story with a classroom of kids each day. Every child is unique, fearfully and wonderfully made in His image. I take our mission very seriously: to equip and inspire hearts and minds to transform the world for Christ.
This is my 8th year teaching at CVC. Life has brought many adventures; all of them pointing to God's faithfulness. We continue to "Raise a Hallelujah" for good health and for all our blessings.
God is good all the time. All the time He is good.
Mrs. Altena
