Habit of Mind: Responding with Wonderment and Awe
“Go outside and turn your attention to the many miracles around you.” – Wayne Dyer
The Habit of Mind for the next two months is Responding with Wonderment and Awe.
Individuals who practice this habit are curious and present. They notice little things, and wonder what makes them work. Then, they set out to find their answer! Most importantly, they know how to find the joy and beauty in asking questions about the world around them.\
6th Graders Go to the Mission Cultural Center
This Friday, November 4, the 6th grade class will visit the Mission Cultural Center to view the Dia de los Muertos altar. Students will leave school around 10:00, and will return before 3:00.

Tomorrow marks the last Wednesday of this session of Science Club with Ms. Rose – but don’t you worry! A new session starts next week, and this one focuses on chemistry.

Monday Music Lessons with Gianfranco
Weekly lessons will teach students how to play the Classical Guitar or Piano. Lessons are one-on-one, and 30 minutes each.
Students who are beginners will explore basic methods and techniques with their instruments such as chords, scales and reading musical notations. Students will learn a song from the Suzuki method Guitar book or from the Piano Adventures series.
Students who are slightly intermediate or advance with music will explore more musical repertoire for either the Guitar or the Piano, as well as enhancing their technique and preparing them all for a future recital to perform!
Each music session is $45 for 30 minutes
