I am loving this rain! Have you been incorporating “rain” into your home learning? If so, please share with each other via your google group. Some possibilities: erosion, storm sewer run-off into the ocean, trees with damaged root systems falling, economic impacts, infrastructure successes and failures, flash floods, traffic safety, umbrella invention/innovation, snow packs, rain barrels…you get the ideaJ
Something new (for K-3 fams):
“Parent-Led” Workshop this week: Hand Lettering with Kaitlin. Our own dean of students, Kaitlin Toon, will lead a workshop on hand lettering (adapted from a middle school seminar she is leading). This workshop will be 12:40-1:40. If there is sufficient interest, we may be able to have her come back for a second dayJ This is a great opportunity for kids to work on ways to give their visual creations some POP and try something new. Please RSVP.
Some reminders:

Friendship Day Party at the Park – From the organizers: Homeschool Collaborative Families! We are going to celebrate Valentine's Day on Tuesday, February 14 at Hermosa Valley Park from 12-2 (by the playground and bathrooms). Our kids will be making Valentine's bags and then handing out valentines. We will try to snag a few picnic tables so look for festive table clothes! Please sign up for a snack or treat to bring. Bring a sack lunch if you want something more substantial). This gives our kids a chance to hang out and us parents a chance to catch up.
We look forward to seeing you there! Please RSVP.
