Edgewood Parking Lot Safety Reminders

 

Parking lot: Parking Lot Cone Safety

 

1) Parents need to enter the churchparking lot from Vanderlip ONLY. We want to have one way traffic in that parking lot. If parents ask another person (grandparent, friend etc) to pick/drop off their child, they need to inform that person of the procedure.

2) Parents need to slow down in all the parking lots. Please no speeding.

3) No parking on the red curb.

4) No running in the parking lots.

5) Children need to stay by their parents' side in the parking lot at all times.

 

The Golden Ticket

Diana and Deniz

Deniz was the student randomly selected to share a meal with Mrs. Kaneski on Friday, April 8, 2011.  Deniz's name was selected from a tub of yellow tickets each with names of students who have shown exceptional character during the last week.  If you know Deniz, then you know what a blessing she is to her teacher and to those around her. Deniz never puts herself first but considers the feelings of others before her own.  Thank you, Deniz, for sharing breakfast with me. I loved our time together.

3rd Grade to Irvine Outdoor Education Center3rd to Irvine Outdoor Education Center

 

Last Friday, third grade embarked on a brand new field trip to Irvine Regional Outdoor Education Center.  This was actually our second attempt since the first scheduled field trip was postponed due to weather.  Students were giddy with anticipation as we boarded the bus Friday morning.  When we arrived students began the field trip with a gorgeous nature hike where science and social studies came together as they explored the adaptations of native plants and animals and their interdependence and their interaction with non-native species. While on the hike students also learned about the interactions of plant and animal species with Native Americans and early European settlers. Nutrient and water cycles came to life through hands-on activities at our solar, wind, and hand-powered well.  They also got to investigate the ranch's citrus grove where more than 30 different species of citrus plants are grown and tended to.  The third graders were ecstatic when they learned that they could actually pick and eat some of the oranges and lemons.  The field trip wouldn't be complete without a hard hat, hammering, and shoveling in the ranch's rock mine.   This was a field trip they would never forget and we'll definitely keep for next year.

 

1st Grade PresentationParisa Khashayar

 

Mrs. Brown's class took part in a wonderful Persian New Year celebration presented by Mrs. Khashayar.  Mrs. Khashayar taught us about this celebration and brought in a beautiful display of symbols that their family uses to honor this Persian tradition.  We learned how intertwined the celebration is with nature and the beginning of wonderful things to come in the new year.  Thank you for your hard work and amazing presentation!

The degrees she carries are a BA in English, single-subject English teaching credential, and her MA in Education with an emphasis in Curriculum and Instruction.

Then in the fall of the same year, she began working full-time at the Edgewood campus as the 6th grade Language Arts and Assist teacher. Now, she currently teaches 6th and 7th grade Literature and 8th grade English. Her hobbies include reading, decorating her home, shopping, exercising, trying new restaurants, traveling, and spending quality time with her husband and 4-month old son.
