Meet Some Famous Authors!

Hicklebee's, an independent bookseller specializing in children's literature, is hosting some very famous authors in the coming month at their store in San Jose (Willow Glen neighborhood).

I STRONGLY encourage your child to attend at least one of them. It can be a very powerful (and cool!) experience to meet a famous author...especially one whose books they have read!

Mark your calendars and have fun!

Congratulations, New Parents! You've Found the Class Website!

Feel free to take a look around.

I'm updating it now and in the coming days.

Regarding HW:
1)  SUBSCRIBE to the blog by entering your email in the box on the right ------>
This ensures that you will receive updates in your Inbox if you're on the road or at work, and especially if you cannot access the website for some reason.
2)  ALL HW will be archived. This is the major reason why I chose a Blog format: the storage of past HW postings in addition to the unnecessary updating and deleting of a webpage's content was convenient and easy for me, my students and their parents.

Have fun!

School's Around the Corner!

I hope you have been enjoying (enjoyed) your vacations and are getting ready for school.

2) First day of school is Monday, August 25.

3) Here is the link to the district/school calendar for the 2014-15 school year: http://www.berryessa.k12.ca.us/documents/2014-2015%20School%20Year%20Calendar.pdf

Bookmark it.

Take a pic of it and store it in your cellphone's photo roll.
