Our Social Studies chapter will be paired with a whole class literature unit on the book,
I Survived the San Francisco Earthquke. Our text book focuses on the Earthquake in 1906 which changed San Francisco in many ways. This literature unit will help students dive into the time period and get an "eye witness" account of what it might have been like for the people whose lives were touched by this natural disaster.

Change War May 2nd-6th:
Our school theme this year is “Blessed to Serve.” One way we can serve others is by
helping those in need. A local family recently lost their home and all of their
possessions in a house fire and needs our help. Let’s have a Change War!
Please bring in your change to add positive amounts to your class’s total and add
paper money to other class’s milk jugs to subtract from their money totals.
Collected monies will be given to the family in need. The Change War will take place
May 2-6. Thank you for your generosity!
Botanical Gardens:
Your schools are invited to our May 12th Family Night at the Garden! And yes, this means the whole school – all students in all grades, all teachers, all staff, and their respective families. This special evening is an annual event in which we thank our school partners (like you) and our community partners for working alongside us during the school year.
Attendees that night will enjoy:
o Free admission to the Garden and the Children’s Garden,
o A light meal and
o Activities on the grounds,
o An opportunity to explore and play in our new Brookings Exploration Center and
o A chance to experience educational fun in the PlantLab!
I’m attaching the event flyer to this E-mail – please feel free to print and circulate it! The event runs from 5:30-7:30 on May 12, 2016. It’s a great opportunity to enjoy the Garden as a school community!

Reflecting on our week: Students had fun taking a campus trip through time. We walked the Zion campus comparing the building we see today with photographs of the original church and school. This helped students relate to our Social Studies chapter on how communities change.
