Hello,
This past Friday we compiled a list of interview questions for the heritage report. Please be sure your child gathers enough information over the next few weeks so that he or she will have sufficient material when we begin writing it in class. We will begin the report on April 20 - right after our spring break.
Thanks and have a good week.

Hello,
I sent home information on the Heritage Report today. Please go over this carefully with your child. I've asked that all information be gathered by April 20 (after Spring Break). Tomorrow we will compile interview questions in class that your child can use when speaking with relatives. I'll be sending more information home soon regarding the guidelines for the written report which we will begin working on work on in class the week of the 20th. The due date for the completed report will be Thursday, May 14.

Thanks.

Our Elementary Law trip was terrific. We took a tour of the new Watsonville Courthouse, learning about court security practices, self-help legal services, and jury selection and duties. We were also lucky to have both Judge Guy (Berkley's mom) and Judge Salazar give us all kinds of interesting information about trials and procedures in the courtroom. The "trial" itself was great - all the players did a wonderful job!

Hello,
Today marks the beginning of the third and final trimester - the final stretch is here!
I told everyone today that during this final grading period I will not be accepting late work. I will accept late projects, but I will mark these down 10% each day that they are late. I will certainly continue to take notes from parents asking for extensions if anything comes up that prevents a student from turning in work on time. We are preparing for 6th grade, and this is one of the things 6th grade teachers support. Thanks for your help.
We will be participating in the Elementary Law Program this Thursday at the Watsonville Courthouse. Thanks to all parents who have volunteered to drive. If you would still like to come and see our class perform, please do.
Have a good week.
Mrs. Koue
