Make school supply shopping easy by ordering a supply kit! Eliminate the hassle of going store to store to find all of the supplies your child will need for next school year. These kits provide the supplies requested by your child's teacher while saving money and giving back to the school. Simply visit http://www.educationalproducts.com/shoppacks and enter code CAN083. Your child's supplies will be delivered to his/her classroom by the first day of school saving you the stress of transporting heavy bags for each of your children and giving you more time to focus on capturing special memories. The deadline to order is June 23rd. Purchase through this program is voluntary and not required.
Celebrate your students accomplishments or special events with a personalized message on the CVES marquee! This fundraiser benefits the 5th Grade Committee and allows you to purchase a message for $25 to be displayed for 2 days on the digital marquee sign in front of the school. There are 2 message slots available on a first come, first serve basis for each 2-day period. Please visit https://bit.ly/cvesmarquee2024 to purchase. Participation is voluntary and not required.
Coyote parents (members or not) are invited to attend our monthly Team CV meetings, especially if you are interested in learning what the PTO & Foundation do, how money that is raised is spent, or are interested in training or shadowing for a position on the board/s next year. Many of our current board members are graduating out with their 5th graders this year and having people who are comfortable taking over key roles is important to ensuring we maintain a strong partnership for our younger kids. Though formal childcare is not available, children are invited to attend meetings and sit in the room with parents. Meetings occur every first Thursday of the month at 6 pm in the Innovation Station or via Zoom. For Zoom info, please DM us to be added to the distribution list.
Our next meeting is Thursday, May 30th. There will be no Zoom info for this month's meeting. Hope to see you there!
Thank You Very Mochi by Paul Matsushima and Craig Ishii
When Kimi and her family visit Grandma and Grandpa's house for New Year's mochitsuki, they discover the mochi-machine is broken. After initial fears that mochitsuki will be cancelled, Grandpa proposes an interesting, yet old-fashioned solution of making mochi the hand-pounded way.
Big Dreams, Small Fish by Paula Cohen
But her parents think she’s too young to help. And anyway they didn’t come to America for their little girl to work. “Go play with the cat!” they urge.
This doesn’t stop Shirley’s ideas, of course. And one day, when the rest of the family has to rush out leaving her in the store with sleepy Mrs. Gottlieb…Shirley seizes her chance!
Wanda's Words Got Stuck, by Lucy Rowland and Paula Bowles
Wanda the witch is so shy she can’t talk at school. No matter how hard she tries, the words simply won't come out. But when another quiet little witch named Flo joins her class, it seems that Wanda’s not the only one who gets nervous sometimes. Then disaster strikes at the school-wide magic contest. Will Wanda have the courage to shout out the magic words and save her new friend?
