3rd Grade vocabulary lessons have been centered around Ice Cream so our ambitious teachers decided to make some.  

Some wonderful Westmont students came to Capri on Tuesday, March 3rd to read to some of our classes.  Thank you so much to these wonderful teens who volunteered to engage with our students.  

Monday, March 2nd was Read Across America Day sponsored by the National Education Association.  Capri celebrated by wearing PJ's and inviting guest readers into our classrooms. Campbell Union School District Superintendent, Dr. Shelly Veramontez, Judge Mike Clark, and  Officer Stevie from the Campbell Police Department were some of our guest readers.  Capri Principal, Heather Wellendorf, Mrs. Eshoff and Mrs. Cota all escaped into the classrooms to read.  Some of the favorite books for the day were "Green Eggs and Ham" and "Oh the Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss.

Ecoliteracy is the study of the natural world combined with the study of humans relate to their environment and healthy eating habits. When Living Classroom students are growing vegetables to harvest in the winter to make vegetable soup or they are planting wheat in the fall to be harvested in the spring to make pretzels, they are learning valuable lessons about environmental stewardship, ecoliteracy, and healthy eating.

This winter, first grade students will learn all about bird species in their lesson "The Best Nest." During this lesson, students will identify materials that birds may use to build their nests and have the opportunity to build their own! Third grade students will learn all about "The Mighty Worm" this month! In their lesson, they will learn how worms are a key player in producing healthy soil, and they will create a worm bin!
