April 4, 5:30-6:30pm: Biography essay and home project fair.
We are holding an evening event on April 4 that will be similar to a science fair set up with the Strawberry students stationed by their projects and essays about famous Americans. Guests will get a chance to visit the projects and talk to the researchers about the person they studied. There will be light snacks provided. This is the same evening as the Wildcat dinner/dance event in the Depot. Families with students in Wildcat will still be able to visit Strawberry and attend the Wildcat event.
April 11: Sacramento Amtrak Field Trip: Strawberry Creek will be going to the California Train Museum in Sacramento as part of our Westward Movement study on Thursday, April 11, 2013. Please note the late return time from this trip as 5:00pm with pick up at the Berkeley Amtrak train station.
Cultural Studies: Today we began our introduction to the Oregon Trail. Through a discussion based on photographs, students discussed their thoughts and ideas about the Oregon Trail, the effects on the land and the people in the West, and the hardships families may have faced. We will dive deeper into our study of the Oregon Trail later this week.
Science: Strawberry Creek welcomed Madelyn (Hannah's mom) into our classroom to teach us more about the circulatory system. With some fun with balloons and stethoscopes, students listened to their heartbeat and explored the difference between stiff and flexible arteries.
