Tierra Linda, Mariposa, and Arundel have received a grant and are working in partnership with many organizations (Bay Tree Design, Each Green Corner, Resilient School Yards, San Mateo County Office of Education, City of San Carlos and San Mateo County Stormwater Program) to have a master plan for the school campus that focus on watershed and water cycle. We have a creek running through our campus and we hope to one day improve our outdoor spaces by creating learning labs.  If you would like to learn more about this project, please attend out PTA meeting on March 14 or attend our School Site Council Meeting on March 17 at 3:30 p.m.  Here is the Zoom Link for the SSC meeting. 

 

Last week we had a quadriplegic motivational speaker, Alex P. Plasky who shared his story. Alex shared, "Life will always throw challenges our way, and it is up to us to build the appropriate skills to tackle them." We learned strategies for responding to challenges. 

E+R= O (Event + Response= Outcome). We all have different events that happen to us, and depending on how we respond, we determine the outcome that we will have. 

 

During the month of March, Ms. Gulati and I will be visiting classrooms to talk with students about what they are learning about and acknowledge ways they work together in order to demonstrate mastery of learning targets.  Students are learning about:
