Week of November 1st-5th
Student Safety at Pick Up
If you are picking up your student(s) in a car, please park and walk your student to the car. I have seen a number of close calls with students crossing the street to their car. Many times students are walking across the street between cars. Also, please pull over or go around the block to find a spot to park. We have the gates open from 3:05-3:25. One tip is that there are many more open parking spots at 3:20, then there are at 3:10-3:15.
Thank you for your understanding and looking out for the safety of all of our students.

TK/K/1/2 Vocal Music Update
TK/K/1/2 Vocal Music
Happy Autumn! We have been having so much fun singing our fall-themed songs in our vocal music class. In music this month, every TK/K/1/2 student has been practicing "Danse Macabre," our fall-themed classical music piece by Camille Saint-Seans. Ask your student to perform "Danse Macabre" and act out the skeletons and ghosts in the graveyard in the song!
If your student is in TK or Kindergarten, please ask them for their "Pass the Pumpkin" song map that was handed out this week. You can also ask them to sing "Oh My Aunt Came Back," and look for an "Ask Me" sheet for "My Aunt Came Back" over the next few weeks. You can even make up a new verse to the "Aunt Came Back" song if you would like!
If your student is in 1st grade, ask your student to sing "Black Cat," and ask them to perform the song map that they received (or will receive this week) for "Black Cat."
If your student is in 2nd grade, please ask them to sing "Hey there, ___, someone's on the phone," and show you the hand motions to the "Tikka takka, tikka takka, wally woo woo" part of the song. You can sing the song to each other, if you would like!
Please also check your student's vocal music Seesaw account, where optional singing activities and games have been posted for you to practice and respond to if you would like to participate. If you have any questions about the vocal music program, feel free to reach out directly to Ms. Koplinka-Loehr at:
Danielle Koplinka-Loehr: daniellekoplinkaloehr@ccusd.org
We hope you are having fun listening to your students' wonderful singing voices!

Environmentalists agree that an important action we can take to combat climate change is to adopt a plant-based diet
“Securing a brighter future for our children and future generations requires countries to take urgent action at home and abroad to turn the tide on climate change. It is with ambition, courage and collaboration as we approach the crucial COP26 summit in the UK that we can seize this moment together, so we can recover cleaner, rebuild greener and restore our planet.” Boris Johnson, UK Prime Minister.
Here are the goals stated by the COP26:
1. Secure global net zero by mid-century and keep 1.5 degrees within reach
2. Adapt to protect communities and natural habitats
3. Mobilize finance ($100bn in climate finance per year)
4. Work together to deliver
Make sure to check it out, and hold your governments accountable for what they agree on! Join the movement now!
