Hope you all had a restful weekend. It was a great week back. I truly missed the students and I am proud of them getting back into our routines. We would like to get out pictures (described below) in by next Friday, April 24th.  

We have begun our autobiography assignment. This will continue until the end of the quarter. Students may come home with assignments needing information from you and at times pictures from home. I will not ask for pictures to be turned in until after spring break. However, if you would like to get a head start the pictures we are needing for the autobiography will be the following:

1 - 4x6 of your student

1 - 4x6 of your student with family and/or friends

3 - smaller pictures, think wallet size they can be cut, of your student from early or recent years of childhood

*Again, these are not due until later in April. I am just putting it on your radar for now. I will be explaining in detail to the students and want them to communicate and help pick out pictures if possible. My hope is for this to be a student-led assignment that they will be proud of for years to come. I hope that they see how their story is an important part of God's story.

Word of the week: pictures

Our students have been working diligently on learning about the history of California. One of our pages is an interview on some one who immigrated to California from another country. If you have someone in your family or community that would be willing to talk about their experience please email me and we can schedule a time for them to come to our classroom and share. The students will have some prepared questions to learn more about their story. Thank you!
