Measuring Madness!

We had a blast measuring our desks with things from our room: tens rods, popsicle sticks, counting bears, geo boards, hexagons--you name it!!! Did you know our desks are 7 geoboards long, and 28 counting bears long?? I wonder how many dimes long the desk would be!?





Latin America Celebration!


Last month, EPACS hosted a tremendous Latin America Celebration for the community! The Stanford Trees learned a wonderful song they performed for the whole school, and made flags from each country with their parents! Here are some highlight photos from the wonderful event! Our Spanish Teacher, Mrs. Przbila did an incredible job working hard to coordinate the whole event. Thanks, Mrs. Przbila, and thank you Trees for participating!!!
































My brother, Juan Carlos and sister-in-law, Greta came to enjoy the great performances and delicious food! They were excited to meet so many Stanford Trees!

Marine Science Institute!!



The Marine Science Institute visited our classroom with amazing creatures! We spent the morning exploring our own mini tide-pools. We had fantastic instructors who taught us about how to pet fish gently and hold sea stars, urchins, and other incredible sea animals. We learned so much about tides and how these creatures survive the rising and falling tides each and every day.


My favorite animal must've been the decorator crab--it grabs things from the ocean to decorate its back and camouflage itself!!! How awesome is that!?
