Field Trip to missions
by Destanee Tvedten Our class went to the Sonoma Mission. We learned how to make candles, baskets, and other fun stuff. We even got to go in the mission. We all had a lot of fun with the candles I think. We got to learn a lot a cool things about history. I never knew they had church 3 times a day! We all had fun and thank you parents for helping us!

We have been adopted by the [|USC Alumni of Marin]! Here is an excerpt from their December newsletter:  USC Alumna and 4th grade teacher Laurel Golden are participating in a program called No Ecuses University. The mission is to get all children aware of college and aware that they can go to college no matter what – No Excuses!! We have adopted her class at Loma Verde School in Novato and we are asking for alums to come into the classroom and share your USC experiences, stories, photos, etc. with her students. They LOVE USC already and want to hear more! Let’s show them what the Trojan Family is all about!

My first Friday Explorers was great! I went to mathletes with Ms. Smith. I was doing math with blocks. I really wanted to play Capture the Flag, but it was filled so I chose math. Everybody in my class got to go to Friday Explorers. I love Fridays!

Today was an exciting day for the fourth graders in room 44. While most of the students are taking an important test to show how smart they are, a few others spent some time writing the first posts on our classroom web space. Be sure to check out their awesome articles! There are two new pages,Science and Social Studies, and three posts on our Blog about P.E., Healthy Snacks, and our Classroom Jobs.

Classroom Jobs
by Connor

Our classroom jobs are very important. My classroom job is the librarian. The rest of the classroom jobs are the Historian, the nurse, and so many more important jobs. We have classroom jobs so the teacher does not have to do everything herself. The librarian's job is to make sure the classroom books are in order and that everyone writes down what books they take out. We had to fill out an application to get our jobs. It was hard. We had to pick three jobs. I picked out the Librarian and the Door Monitor, and I got the Librarian. And that's how I got my job!

P.E. Rocks!
Hi my name is Kaitlyn. Today I'm going to be telling you about our new P.E teacher, Mr.Noonan. Mr.Noonan is a great P.E teacher. He knows all the fun games like Tag, Four-Square, and even Tetherball. You should have Mr. Noonan as a P.E. teacher at your school. We have P.E. Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, so we need to remember to wear the right clothes and shoes. I will write more later!

Healthy Snacks
Hi my name is Destanee. Miss Golden’s class is going to eat healthy snacks this year like fruits, veggies, and other healthy stuff. For the brithdays snacks were bring healthy snacks like apples dipped in caramel. Remember to eat healthy foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Go healthy snacks!

Friday Explorers
by Jacob :)

Friday Explorers is something you do every Friday, but to do Friday Explorers you have to turn in your homework every day for the week or if your card gets flipped twice you won't do Friday Explorers. Friday Explorers is something where you go to different rooms to play games except one teacher's room. That's the catch up room where you do your work that you must do if you didn't finish. The classes where you get to play games are in 3rd and 4th grade. I can't wait until Friday!
