The Season of Giving

The Globetrotters have been working hard this year to give to others. Below is a list of service projects we have completed this year.
  • Stuffed stockings with goodies to send to soldiers serving overseas
  • Made cookies and decorated bags to send to the Dementia Unit at a local hospital
  • Made joke books to send to soldiers overseas

  • Using money from the school store we have:
    • Bought chicks and honeybees through Heifer International
    • Bought 15 dollars worth of non-perishable food items for Soup for Seniors
 Thanks for helping us teach the children the importance of giving!

Super Hero Success

The Super Hero luncheon was a success. Students had a great time being of service, and they did a great job. We had a lot of parents who came to eat, visit Santa Cruz, and shop the book fair. Thank you to all of the parents who supported our book fair. You can also support Community School this season when you shop Amazon by going to www.communityschool.net, clicking on our links, and then entering the Amazon site posted on that page.

We are currently wrapping up South America in science and social studies. In math, Keri's group has been working on addition and subtraction with regrouping using catalogs.  Kids are having a great time spending their imaginary money! In Katie's math we are working on Mayan math. We made Mayan temples with geometric shapes, and added and subtracted using the Mayan number system. Today we started making Mayan masks with our little buddies in Katlyn's class.

Classroom request!
We're in need of plastic forks and 8oz. plastic drinking cups. Thanks in advance!

Classroom Request

Katie needs small boxes for a math project. Jewelry sized boxes or a little larger would be great. Shoe boxes are too big.

Thanks so much!
