On Fun Fridays in Ms. Szamosi's class, students engage in enriching learning activities like learning geography with puzzles. Working collaboratively with peers makes these types of activities even more engaging and rewarding. Ms. Szamosi's students are also learning how to keep a beat in Music class with Mrs. Blok. What will tomorrow's Fun Friday have in store for the 4th and 5th graders?
Curious how to pronounce Ms. Szamosi's name? It's "some-uh-she".
Mrs. Dewey's welcomed the new year by setting goals and making plans! Our students spent time reflecting and "Looking Back" and "Looking Ahead". Identifying wishes and goals is a great way of setting a vision for what students want for themselves. It provides direction, a sense of motivation, and a sense of accomplishment when the hard work pays off. We're excited to see our students achieve at high levels; be it academic, social/emotionally, and relationally alongside of their peers.
Check out what the students in Mr. Maus' class have been up to! Our work with CGI (Cognitive Guided Instruction) is clearly on display, and we couldn't be prouder of the incredible progress our students are making on a daily basis. Here, our students are using not one, but two powerful resources - fraction bars and multiplication facts charts. Fraction bars are an amazing tool that help our students visualize equivalent fractions in a way that's easier to understand, making complex concepts feel more accessible and fun to learn. The use of a multiplication fact chart allows our students to see the development of patterns of numbers, reduce math anxiety, and build their confidence as they work with multidigit numbers.
It's incredible to see how these visual aids can make all the difference in their learning journey! We appreciate the learning our TEACHERS continue to engage in as they continue to learn instructional strategies that help our students learn well.
Happening NOW until 7pm--our book fair. Read alouds begin in 5 minutes. Our ASB students will select books to read to students.
What an incredible day! One highlight was the 3rd graders taking on their first mile - The Turkey Trot! It was amazing to see their determination and perseverance as they completed their four laps. Mrs. Lopez's 2nd graders and Mrs. Dewey's 5th graders also got in on the fun, giving in to the 6-7 Madness on the 67th Day of School! It was a day filled with energy and excitement as the students participated in a series of fun activities. And to top it all off, it was also Match with a Friend Day! The students had a blast matching with their friends and showing off their stylish outfits.
Ms. Dunst and Ms. Bennett's 1st graders made their own pumpkin pies from scratch! With the help of parent volunteers, they learned about teamwork, accuracy of measurement, and the joy of creating something with their own hands. And, of course, they got to enjoy their delicious creations afterwards!
Yesterday, our 3rd grade teachers worked with our UCLA Mathematics Project coaches to deepen their understanding of how our students develop number sense, math reasoning, and how to encourage our students to represent their mathematical understandings.
Kindness Day was Nov. 13th--Our students visited the Wellness Center where Ms. Sebastian hosted special activities to help students reflect, relax, and spread positivity.
Gratitude Station: Students can stop by to write thank-you notes or messages of appreciation to classmates, staff, or family members.
Calm & Kind Space: A quiet area with relaxing music where students can color or draw.
Donuts with the Deputies was a fabulous turn out. Our students and families were greeted by several Deputies and Explorers. Our own School Resource Officers (SROs) Deputies Ayala and Rubalcava visited our Extensive Needs classes to say hello. We're grateful for the men and women who keep our community safe.
The students in Ms. Gutierrez's class participated in a Magnetic Field Lab yesterday and today! They discovered which parts of the playground contain iron and nickel by testing various objects and surfaces with their magnets. Day Two included an informative writing assignment. Way to go Eagles!
Our TK students worked on a STEAM activity this week while learning about width and height. They worked in groups of 4 to design doors for 3 different sized frog friends.

On Friday, we were thrilled to receive not one, but two incredible gifts from Bank of the Sierra! The first was a generous donation of $250, which will go a long way in supporting our San Cayetano Eagles. But that's not all - we were also presented with brand new backpacks for our students, complete with all the necessary supplies to help them succeed in learning to manage their money. We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Miss Jenny and everyone at Bank of the Sierra who made this amazing donation possible. Their ongoing community support means the world to us, and with their help, our eagles will truly soar to new heights! Thank you, Bank of the Sierra!

Thank you, Deputy Avila for discussing fireworks safety with our 4th-6th grade summer school students!
Today, our students received an important and timely presentation from Deputy Avila on firework safety. With the 4th of July just around the corner, it’s critical that our children understand how to stay safe around fireworks and celebrate responsibly.
A big thank you to Deputy Avila for partnering with us and helping keep our community informed and protected.
