Monday, January 2, 2017. This week promises to be a difficult one as I will only be in class on Tuesday and then Maria and I are out for 2 days for training and then we are off to Monterey for a California League of Schools Tech Conference. Where we will be presenting! What are your plans for your first week back? Tuesday, November 22, 2016. Full of Gratitude and Giving Thanks.

Sunday, October 30, 2016. This week we started an Engineering for Good unit in Science where the first activity tasked us with building a Marshmallow Tower using only 20 sticks of raw spaghetti, one yard of masking tape, one yard of string and a single marshmallow to go on top! The students worked together with their table group members to attempt to build to tallest tower! See the pictures below! Working hard to create a tower! The MAP testing start.

Teaching, team building, P. Tuesday, August 30, 2016. I make the tickets and passes on my computer, and I already had pencils and highlighters! At first, some kids .
