The Kindergarteners did a great job performing for parents, staff, and other classes. They learned a lot of great songs. Huge shout out to our Kindergarten teachers for practicing with the students. Shout out to Ms. Lee for leading the students.

Senora Villarreal showcased her students learning through a Learning Celebration. The students did a great job and have learned a lot of Spanish. Great job students.

We celebrated our Bobcat students and our Perseverance students for the month of April at principal’s lunch on Monday.

Congratulations to all our Bobcat and Trait students!

5th graders had their final “Market Day” of the year this week. I was tempted to have them dye my hair, but I had two after school activities to attend.

I did purchase some amazing market day items. Thanks 5th graders for sharing your talents.

The 2nd graders did an amazing job of playing three different instruments for us. They really had the rhythm. Parents, teachers and other classes really enjoyed their performance. Huge shout out to the 2nd grade teachers. Also, thanks Mrs. Lee for all the work you have done to assist the students with playing the boomwackers, sticks and drums.

Our 5th grade band students did an amazing job at the District Concert at Catalina High School on Monday evening. Mrs. Lee did incredible instruction with one year with our 5th grade band students. I was so proud of the music they played.

Congratulations to Mrs. Lee for writing a grant to the Rincon Rotary Club and being awarded with 4 drums for music education here at Ventana Vista. Thanks for all you do Mrs. Lee.

Mr. Dean invited Julie Tetrault to visit with the 4th graders in Mrs. Martinez and Mr. Dean’s 4th grade classes about meteorology and atmospheric research. She also discussed how to pursue an interest in meteorology and what classes would be helpful to take in high school. The students learned a lot and received some advice for Monsoon Season. Ask your students about this advice.

The advanced orchestra students did an amazing job at the District Advanced Orchestra Concert on Tuesday evening. Wow, can they ever play well. Also, our beginning Orchestra students did an amazing job at the District Orchestra Concert last evening. Huge shout out to Ms. Cioca for her great orchestra leadership with our students.
