| The day started with a lively game of Gold Rush in the park. |
 |
| 5th graders are endeavoring to buy low and sell high in a stock market project that integrates graphing skills, fractions and decimals, computational skills, and good old wagering sense. |
 |
| Heather Kelley led Sweet Briar, Blackberry, and Cerrito in an Earth Day dance in the park. Wow, thanks Heather, what a ball! |
 |
| Talent Friday with a highly talented young artist. Her drawing is in much better focus than this photograph. Thanks for being brave! You wowed the audience. |
 |
| The Cerrito bank opened today, and students got payed in "Hairy Bank Notes" (that's what trappers used to call beaver pelts) for their hard work this week. They had to add long rows of decimals, and next week they'll have to figure for 10% interest on their savings. Next week, a store will open at which they can purchase school supplies. Money=math motivation. |
Homework: none, but start thinking about what you're going to wear with your bandana and hat/bonnet to look like an Oregon Trail pioneer. Think jeans or khakis, white button-downs, and long dresses.
