Our very own teachers are presenting hands-on, engaging, informative workshops all about the Common Core Math Practices. Come learn about some of the new ways that math is being taught and mathematical thinking is being demonstrated. 

Attend our workshop and you will receive one Homework Pass for your child! Keep in mind, each teacher will give their own value to the pass. Some will make it a homework pass for math, some for any subject, and some might even exchange it for a Green Ticket! Attend our workshop and you will also automatically be entered into a raffle drawing for a fun prize the same night of the event! 

 We hope to see some really great attendance by some mathematically curious parents!

#CesarChavez Day

Reminder that Monday, Apr 6 is a school holiday and we’ll return Tuesday Apr 7 #SiSePuede

This year, all LAUSD schools will observe César Chávez Day on Monday, April 6 in celebration of the birthday of César Estrada Chávez and it serves as a tribute to his commitment to social justice and respect for human dignity.

Cesar Chavez was a labor organizer among the agricultural workers of the Southwest. With Delores Huerta he co-founded the National Farm Workers Association which became the United Farm Workers. Throughout the 1960s and early 70s this union engaged in labor actions until it finally won the right of collective bargaining for California agricultural workers in 1975.

The largest of these actions was the Salad Bowl Strike. In competition with both the California growers and the Teamsters Union, the largely Hispanic UFW walked off the job on August 23, 1970 in the largest farm strike in American history. Targeted at the lettuce growers, this action caused the price of lettuce to double almost overnight. The strike did not end until March 26, 1971.

Over the ensuing years a series of agreements was worked out including the right for collective bargaining, though the persistence since that time of the UFW's gains is debatable.

  • Grow a Garden with Your Kids (for parents)
  • Learn to Grow Your Own Food (for kids)
  • Build a Kite Like Ben Franklin’s
  • DIY: Kites from Recycled Materials (PDF)
  • Learn about the annual kite festival in Washington, DC. It's on Saturday, March 28 this year.
  • Watch for Meteors

#StPatricksDay

3/17 Follow these links & learn more about the history, culture and traditions of Irish-Americans

St. Patrick’s Day may have started as a day to commemorate the death of Ireland’s patron saint, Patrick, who died on March 17, around 492, but St. Patrick’s Day evolved into a day of wearing green, eating Irish food, and parades to celebrate Irish heritage. 

Your students probably hear a lot about St. Patrick's Day, take an opportunity to give them more context and background about the rich history, culture, and traditions of the Irish and Irish-Americans:
  • St. Patrick's Day - America's Story
  • Irish Immigration - Library of Congress
  • A Day in the Life - Growing up in Ireland
  • Ireland - World Factbook - History, Geography and More...
  • Music: Irish Recordings - National Jukebox
  • Activity: Can You Speak Irish?
