Holiday (pet) Adoption Event



Are you thinking of adding a furry member to your family this holiday season? Almost 10 years ago, I adopted my handsome dog Charlie Brown from the animal shelter in Bonita and he has brought so much joy to my life ever since!

This is a notification from Nixle:
The Chula Vista Animal Care Facility is hosting a "Holiday Adoption Event" beginning Tuesday, December 15 through Saturday, December 19.  During that time, adoption fees will be waived on ALL animals.  Normal adoption fees are $75 for dogs and $65 for cats.  Pets will be fully vaccinatd, spayed or neutered, and even micro-chipped to ensure a quick reunion should your pet get lost.

The ACF is open Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and adoptions are processed until 6 p.m., Wednesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with adoptions processed until 4 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with adoptions processed until 3 p.m.

This holiday season, give the gift of friendship to a loved one or yourself.  Adoption application forms are available at the front desk of the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility, located at 130 Beyer Way.  Or download one at www.chulavistaca.gov/pets.

Everyday Mathematics Online at Home



As you are aware, we have adopted Everyday Mathematics as the core mathematics’ curriculum for our school. A website with online programs to assist your child accompanies this curriculum. These programs can be utilized on any computer that has internet access. The site allows access to a number of math games as well as the Reference Book we use in class. (Your child brought this home at one point to share with you. It's the hardcover book.)


Tomorrow in class, I will be reviewing the site with the children and giving them an opportunity to try it out. I will also be sending a letter home with your child that explains the process of logging on so that you can try it out together. Each child will have their own unique login and password to personalize their experience.

If you have any trouble getting set up or accessing the site, please feel free to contact me and I will do what I can to help out. You can also stop in after school on Tuesday or Thursday and we can go through the steps together on one of our classroom computers.
