9/25/09 Egrets and Herons

View these clips and you'll wish you had gone with us.

9/25/09 Delta Wetlands Walk

Fourth Graders enjoyed a fun and informative Wetlands Talk and Walk with Ranger Mike. We investigated a huge CA map as we reviewed our Delta geopgraphy. Next we role-played a Plant-Capturing-Dirt game. Clovis left the "river" boundary and became our Flood. Rain and Dominique locked arms to show the wingspan of a white pelican. Kids discovered tracks, scat, berrries, and salt grass. Wild asparagus, anyone? We saw terns dive-bomb-fishing in the Delta. Bradley was the first to spot an otter slide. Sophia was our yucky-tasting -beetle expert. Our "listen to the birds session" ended with Matthew R.'s very loud sneeze! Nick kept a careful eye on Kevin. All-in-all, a fun, hot day.









9/23/09 SYATP


Former Fourth Grader, Daniel Clift, led our annual See You At The Pole, as we prayed for our school and our nation.

We took a ride on the water cycle, explored the trail of water from our homes to the Bay, solved the mystery of cleaning wastewater, and learned how to protect this precious resource. Some of the children enjoyed the Trip of a Drip , a water cycle game.

8/31/09 Psalm 1

Psalm 1

1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.


2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night.

3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

Reading Club Lunch at McDonalds

Mrs. Larsen's Tiggling Terror- an imaginary roller coaster ride while studying onomatapoeia.

Two answers to prayer, our principal, Mr. Johnson with Jr Hi teacher par excellence, Mr. Keane. Do you like their ties?
