Students at the K-8 schools within CSSU will be changing e-mail
addresses next week. The email address will change from cssu.us to cssu.org. We are
making this change to allow teachers and students to better share documents and
collaborate on projects and to facilitate the 8th grade transition to CVU, thus
creating one student email account lasting K-12. The current email address you have been using
will not work. Please send an email to
your student and include any email address (Family members) that your student
may want to email. Their new email
address will be in this format firstNamelastName@cssu.org.
This week we had a
celebration on 12/12/12 at 12:12:12. We
began with 12 jumping jacks to count down.
We then watched one of my all-time favorite parts or Sesame Street, Pinball 12 . Many
students brought in collections of 12 things to share. We even had a special delivery of 12
balloons. During math the students wrote
12 or more equations that equaled 12. In
reading groups students read with a partner with the goal of reading 12
books. The students filled their honey
jar again and they choose 12 minutes of extra recess. It was a fun filled day!
On Thursday we had
two CVU students come to our class to teach us the colors in Spanish. Alicia, one of the students, was a Rotary
exchange student from La Paz, Mexico. We
learned the colors rojo (red), azul (blue), verde (green), rosa (pink), blanco
(white), Amarillo (yellow). The students
had a very fun and active class. At the
end Alicia read the class Llama, Llama
Red Pajama in Spanish.
Friday was an
exciting day with two special treats.
First we visited Ms. Schwartz’s class in Horizon. Their class has been working on a reader’s
theater play as a way to practice their fluency. The readers did an amazing job of projecting
their voices and reading with expression.
As a school wide award for filling the whole school filling the beehive
the students were treated to the Musical Petting Zoo. During music the class was able to listen and
try many different symphony instruments.
The students’ favorites were…
