March On

Hi Mariposa Friends,

Welcome to our March 2015 Post! 

In February we enjoyed the Spring-like weather, encouraged our Mariposa's to read, visited some neighborhood parks and more.  Check out the action below!

Our theme in March will be "Health and Safety" and our goal is to get our circle times extra active and to inspire our students to make healthy choices.  If you have a career or passion related to this theme, we invite you to come speak to the kids one day this month.  Doctors, dentists, firefighters, police officers, chefs, coaches or work-out enthusiasts would all make awesome visitors! 

In other important news, did you know that our Spring and Summer Camps are being run by Paola this year and that she has everything ready to go online?  Visit sfmariposakids.com to register now! 

We will also be hosting another Mariposa Family Potluck on Thursday, March 19th at 6pm.  We hope to see you all here!  Please use the sign-up sheet at Rolph to help us plan accordingly.  Thanks for reading!

Our goal for Literacy Month was a lofty 1,000 hours which we unable to reach.  The good news is that we learned how to create graphs and track hours and we were able to reward our top readers from each group with a gift card donated to us from Alley Cat Books located at 3036 24th Street.

During Parent/Teacher Conference week we used the extra time to visit nearby Garfield and Potrero Parks.  They were both super fun and it was a nice opportunity to change things up a bit.

Keep posted for information about our April Art Show!  This crew will be sure to let you know all about it!

Skating has seen a spike in popularity lately which is great!  Come by one Saturday from 10 - noon to skate with Amelia and Danny.

 

 One week we made Guacamole, the next we attempted to sprout them.  We're still waiting...

 

And yes, we allowed electronics during Parent/Teacher Conference Week even though it goes against so much of what we believe in.  Overall it went awesome,we think, and it was great to see some kids that normally don't interact with one another doing so.
