WEEK 23

SOCIAL STUDIES TEST ON TUESDAY, February 12th! Study guides and books went home. Students were reminded, so if they chose not to bring them....good luck!

We will be starting a new book about the Gold Rush entitled By the Great Horn Spoon. We will be learning about how California became a state, Manifest Destiny and the Donner Party this week in Social Studies.

I sent students home with the watercolor art they did with Mrs. Moyer. They can enter their art in a contest at Long Marine Lab. The paper is attached to their art.

On Tuesday I will send home our second round of permission slip for the UCSC Life Lab for Friday, February 22nd.

Enjoy the three-day weekend. Thank you Abraham Lincoln!

Mr. Sweet

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
In honor of Abraham Lincoln's Holiday

"Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it." "Letter To Henry L. Pierce and Others" (April 6, 1859)

"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan - to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations." Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1865.
